March 26, 2024 Filing 2 ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH LEAVE TO REPLEAD: Plaintiffs' complaint is dismissed as barred by judicial immunity, the Eleventh Amendment, and the Younger abstention and Rooker-Feldman doctrines. The Court denies Plaintiffs' request to have this case designated as a class action, and Plaintiffs may not assert claims on behalf of C.D. and C.M. The Court grants Plaintiffs leave to replead valid claims within 30 days of this order. If Plaintiffs choose to replead their claims, they must submit an amended complaint to this Court's Pro Se Intake Unit within thirty days of the date of this order, caption the document as an "Amended Complaint," and label the document with docket number 24-CV-1920 (CS). No summons will issue at this time. If Plaintiffs fail to comply within the time allowed, and they cannot show good cause to excuse such failure, the Court will enter civil judgment consistent with this order. The Clerk of Court is instructed to hold this matter open on the docket until a civil judgment is entered. 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 in forma pauperis 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.
