ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
On December 23, 2005, Saro Daghlian commenced this putative class action against DeVry University, Inc., DeVry Inc., and Does 1 through 100 (collectively, “DeVry” or “defendants”) in state court. Daghlian alleges that defendants failed to inform students, including him, that academic units earned at DeVry probably would not transfer to other educational institutions, and that students who sought further education elsewhere would have to earn the units anew.
Daghlian filed a first amended complaint on January 11, 2006, which asserted four causes of action: (1) violations of the California Education Code; (2) violations of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act; (3) false advertising in violation of California Business & Professions Code §§ 17500 et seq.; and (4) unlawful, unfair, and deceptive business practices in violation of California Business & Professions Code §§ 17200 et seq. Defendants removed the action to federal court on February 17, 2006. They now move to dismiss all causes of action in plaintiffs first amended complaint.
