Background
The provided document is a judgment in Oludotun Akinde v. New York City Health and Hospital Corporation. It does not state the facts, claims, or legal arguments underlying the case. The judgment refers to a memorandum opinion and order dated March 29, 2022, but that document is not included here.
Rulings
The court granted the defendants’ motions for summary judgment. Summary judgment is a decision resolving claims without a trial when the governing legal standard is met. The judgment states that the case is closed.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied in forma pauperis status for an appeal, meaning Akinde could not appeal without paying the required filing costs under that provision.
