Background
The judgment names Clint Edwards as the plaintiff and Jeremy Mangion, M.D.; Nathaniel Rawicki, M.D.; Adam Shaner, M.D.; Ashlyn Morse, M.D.; William J. Walsh, M.D.; and Christopher Meltsakos, M.D. as defendants. The judgment itself does not state the claims, factual allegations, or arguments supporting the motions.
Ruling
The court stated that it had subject-matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, which generally concerns federal-question jurisdiction. It granted the motions to dismiss. The judgment refers to a separate Opinion and Order dated April 25, 2022, for the reasons supporting that ruling, but that document is not provided here.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore denied fee-free status for purposes of an appeal. The case was closed.
