Richard Canatella v. Krieg Keller Sloan Reilly Etc

MEMORANDUM

Appellant Richard Canatella seeks review of the district court’s judgment in favor of defendants following the district court’s dismissal of Canatella’s first amended complaint without leave to amend, as well as the district court’s order denying Canatella’s motion for relief from judgment.

Defendants have moved to dismiss the appeal as moot because, since the district court’s judgment was entered, the State Bar has completed and closed the underlying investigation of Canatella. As a result of the State Bar’s action, Canatella’s claims against defendants Kim, Blumen-thal, and Majid are moot. We grant their motion to dismiss. Church of Scientology of California v. United States, 506 U.S. 9, 12 , 113 S.Ct. 447, 449 , 121 L.Ed.2d 313 (1992).

Turning to the claims against defendants Krieg, Keller, Sloan, Reilley, & Roman, LLC, Herman, Krieg, Fields, and Cooper, our review is de novo, and we affirm because the district court correctly ruled that there is nothing tortious about making a truthful report to the State Bar of a court order concerning a lawyer.

DISMISSED in part; AFFIRMED in part.
