Ruling

The provided document is a judgment referring to the court’s separate Opinion and Order dated October 13, 2023. It states that, for the reasons given in that separate document, the defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted. Summary judgment is a decision resolving claims without a trial when the governing standard is satisfied, but the supplied judgment does not explain the claims, evidence, or reasoning.

Appeal 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 the plaintiff’s status allowing an appeal without paying the usual filing costs. The judgment states that the case was closed.

Parties

The caption identifies the plaintiff as Corey A. Latimer, Sr. and the defendants as DOCCS Commissioner Anthony Annucci, Green Haven Correctional Facility Sergeant Rosita Rossy, and Green Haven Correctional Facility Sergeant David Mazella, each sued in individual capacities. The provided text does not state the underlying causes of action or the factual basis for the dispute.
