What happened
The judgment in Mamatkulov v. City University of New York states that the court dismissed Lazizjon Mamatkulov’s amended complaint for the reasons given in a December 1, 2022 order. The provided judgment does not include that earlier order’s reasoning.

Ruling
The judgment states that, for the reasons in the Court’s December 1, 2022 order, the amended complaint is dismissed. The provided opinion text does not include the December 1 order, so it does not explain the grounds for dismissal.
Appeal-Related Ruling
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to proceed without paying court fees for purposes of an appeal. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962), and states that the case is closed.
Disposition
The amended complaint was dismissed. Permission to proceed without paying fees for an appeal was denied, and the case was closed. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with prejudice or without prejudice.
