Ruling
The court dismissed Marzallah Martin-Drew Singleton El Bey’s complaint as frivolous. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal appear in the court’s May 2, 2024 order, but that order is not provided in the opinion text. As a result, the specific basis for calling the complaint frivolous cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied the plaintiff permission to appeal without paying court fees. The judgment was entered by the clerk’s office on May 3, 2024.
