Ruling
The judgment states that Nadav’s amended unfair competition claim failed for the same reason as its earlier claim: it did not plausibly allege bad faith. A claim is plausibly alleged when the complaint includes enough factual content to support a reasonable inference that the defendant may be liable.
The court therefore granted Banana Republic’s motion to dismiss. The court also declined to grant Nadav permission to amend the claim again on its own initiative. Judgment was entered in favor of Banana Republic.
The judgment refers to the court’s March 2, 2022 Memorandum Opinion and Order for the reasons supporting the ruling, but that separate opinion is not included in the provided text. The provided judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
