Text: Plaintiff, Steve Strauss, brought claims against Defendant, Angie’s List, Inc., alleging violations of the Lanham Act. Strauss appeals from an order of the district court dismissing his complaint on the basis that it fails to identify any statements made by Angie’s List that qualify as commercial advertising or promotion within the meaning of the Lanham Act’s false advertising provision. See 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(B). He maintains the district court erred by analyzing his claims under the test adopted by this court in Proctor & Gamble Co. v. Haugen, 222 F.3d 1262, 1273 (10th Cir. 2000) (adopting a four-part test for determining what constitutes commercial advertising or promotion). Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm the dismissal of Strauss’s Lanham Act claims.
