Ruling
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the Court's memorandum order dated March 22, 2023, the City of New York's motion for summary judgment was granted in its entirety. Summary judgment is a ruling that resolves a case without a trial when the governing legal standard is satisfied.
Disposition
The court entered judgment dismissing the case and stated that the case was closed. The judgment does not provide the underlying claims, the parties' arguments, or the memorandum order's reasoning.
Appeal-fee ruling
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an 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.
