Ruling
The court adopted in full Judge Lehrburger’s report and recommendation, which the judgment says was supported by the court’s May 10, 2022 order. The court dismissed EricAndrewPerez’s amended complaint without prejudice to refiling it in the proper jurisdiction. The judgment does not state the specific jurisdictional defect or explain why the current court was not the proper jurisdiction.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. As a result, it denied in forma pauperis status for purposes of an appeal, meaning EricAndrewPerez could not pursue an appeal without paying the required filing fees under that status. The case was closed.
