2024-04-2210ORDER OF DISMISSAL: The Court dismisses this action. The Court dismisses Plaintiff's claims under federal law under the doctrine of sovereign immunity, for lack to subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). The Court also declines to consider, under its supplemental jurisdiction, Plaintiff's claims under state law. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). The Court further denies Plaintiff's request to seal the complaint commencing this action. In addition, the Court denies Plaintiff's requests for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction as moot. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to make publicly available on the court's electronic docket of this action any document heretofore subjected to a "case participant-only" electronic access restriction on that docket, which includes Plaintiff's complaint commencing this civil action, his IFP application, and his initial prisoner trust account report. (ECF 1-3.) The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Court also directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reasons set forth in this order.
