In Adams v. Legendary Marketing, Judge Swain dismissed the action after Adams failed to file the required amended complaint.
The dismissal affected Tommy F. Adams's action against Legendary Marketing and the listed human-resources defendant. Adams was also denied permission to proceed without paying appeal fees.
What happened
In Adams v. Legendary Marketing, the court had given Tommy F. Adams 60 days to file an amended complaint and warned that failing to do so would lead to dismissal. Adams did not file one.
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its earlier October 3, 2023 order. The opinion does not repeat those reasons.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain directed the clerk to enter judgment dismissing the action. She also ruled that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Adams permission to proceed without paying the appeal filing fees.

Ruling
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in the October 3, 2023 order. The January 3 opinion does not describe those reasons or the underlying claims. Judge Laura Taylor Swain directed the clerk to enter a judgment dismissing the action.
Appeal Filing 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 permission to proceed without paying the required fees for an appeal.
