- Feb. 28, 2024
Disposition
The court entered judgment in favor of Defendant Hon. Lynn R. Kotler and closed the case. It dismissed Plaintiff Gina Robinson’s complaint, relying on the reasons stated in a separate Order of Dismissal dated February 28, 2024. The provided text does not state the reasons for that dismissal.
Summary-Judgment Motion
The court denied Robinson’s motion for summary judgment as moot because her complaint had been dismissed. The court also stated that, regardless, the motion and its supporting materials did not present a substantively new argument or show a material factual dispute that could change the court’s analysis of whether Robinson was entitled to relief.
Appeal-Fee Determination
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified 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.
Scope of the Provided Judgment
The text provided is a judgment rather than the underlying Order of Dismissal. It does not identify the legal basis for dismissing Robinson’s complaint or explain the claims in detail.
