Case
Stinson v. CUCF · No. 1:22-cv-07621
Judge
Paul Gardephe
Date
Oct. 11, 2022

Background

Marcus Stinson brought this action against CUCF. The supplied document is a judgment and does not describe the claims, the parties’ arguments, or the reasons for dismissal. It refers to a separate court order dated October 11, 2022 for those reasons.

Ruling

The court dismissed the action without prejudice. That wording means the judgment itself does not bar refiling. The judgment also states that the court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith.

Appeal-Fee Status

Because of that certification, the court denied Marcus Stinson permission to appeal without paying the required fees. The judgment states that judgment was entered.

Classification

This is a procedural order because the supplied text reports dismissal and an appeal-related fee ruling but does not show a decision on the underlying legal claims.
