II. BACKGROUND
Plaintiff John Brosnan (“Plaintiff’) filed this action on January 30, 2008, alleging that Defendants engaged in unfair business practices in connection with the sale of “tradelines.” Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 15, 2008, asserting a claim under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125 (a), as well as claims under state law. On September 12, 2008, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss and a Motion to Strike. In the Motion to Dismiss, Defendants asserted that all of Plaintiffs claims in the First Amended Complaint are defective and should be dismissed. Plaintiff filed no opposition to either motion. The Court granted the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion to Strike and dismissed Plaintiffs Complaint with leave to amend to address the defects cited in Defendants’ Motions.
