Case No. 5:14-cv-04557-PSG

ORDER DENYING-AS-MOOT 

LEAVE TO AMEND STATE LAW 

CLAIMS

(Re: Docket Nos. 64, 65)

 

Last month, this court granted Defendant American Petroleum Institute’s motion to dismiss

and motion to strike.1

 The court further granted Plaintiff Choose Energy, Inc. leave to amend its 

federal Lanham Act claims. But with questions as to whether leave to amend is appropriate after 

an anti-SLAPP motion to strike is granted in light of Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)’s liberal approach to 

amendment, the court ordered the parties to further brief the issue. In light of Choose Energy’s 

representation that it does not seek to amend its state law claims, the inquiry is no longer necessary. 

The court DENIES-AS-MOOT leave to amend the state law claims. Choose Energy shall 

file any amended complaint within seven days. To accommodate any Choose Energy amended 

pleading, the court reschedules the initial case management conference to May 19, 2015 at 

10:00 AM.
