Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NICKHOLAS KNIGHT, SR., Plaintiff, -against- 25cv7550 (LTS) UNITED STATES; WESTCHESTER COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT; CIVIL JUDGMENT WESTCHESTER COUNTY D.O.C.; HASTING POLICE DEPARTMENT; LEGAL AID SOCIETY, Defendants.

For the reasons stated in the November 17, 2025, order, this action is dismissed. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the Court’s judgment would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).

SO ORDERED.
