The detailed version

- Sept. 22, 2022
Ruling
The court granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss. The judgment states that the reasons for this decision were provided in the court’s opinion and order dated September 21, 2022. That opinion and order is not included in the provided text, so the judgment alone does not explain the legal basis for dismissal or identify the claims involved.
The judgment states that the case was therefore closed. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It consequently denied permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees.
Effect
The ruling directly affected Dawn Quaker’s case against the Federal Emergency Management Agency by granting the agency’s motion to dismiss and closing the case. It also affected any attempted appeal by denying fee-free appeal status. The provided judgment does not state whether the dismissal permits refiling.
Classification
This is a procedural order because it grants a motion to dismiss without providing the underlying merits analysis in the supplied text.
