Agency Development, Inc. v. Medamerica Insurance
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be, and it hereby is, AFFIRMED.
Plaintiffs brought this action against defendants after defendants terminated a long term contract between the parties, as per the terms of the contract. Plaintiffs asserted a variety of federal and state antitrust claims and common law claims including breach of contract, fraud, and unfair competition. Plaintiffs also moved to amend the complaint to add a cause of action for false advertising under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(B).
With respect to all arguments raised on appeal other than those regarding plaintiffs’ proposed Lanham Act claim, we affirm the judgment of the district court for substantially the reasons it stated in its thorough opinions. See Agency Dev. Inc. v. Med. Am. Ins. Co., 327 F.Supp.2d 199 (W.D.N.Y. 2004); Agency Dev. Inc. v. Med Am. Ins. Co., 310 F.Supp.2d 538 (W.D.N.Y. 2004).
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.
