Ruling
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in an Opinion and Order dated September 26, 2023, the motions for summary judgment filed by the NY Defendants and the WP Defendants were granted. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment was denied. Summary judgment is a decision resolving claims when the court determines that there is no genuine dispute requiring a trial, but the provided judgment does not include the court’s reasoning or identify the claims it resolved.
Case Status
The court ordered that the case be closed.
Appeal and Filing-Fee Status
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 in forma pauperis status for purposes of an appeal, meaning the plaintiff could not proceed without paying the required filing fees based on that certification.
