CATHERINE BAKER, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,

Appellant v. CRODA INC., f/k/a Croda, Inc. __________________ On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (D.C. No. 1:20-cv-01108)

District Judge: Honorable Stephanos Bibas, Circuit Judge (sitting by designation)

Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) on September 20, 2022

Before: AMBRO1, RESTREPO, and FUENTES2, Circuit Judges

______________ JUDGMENT ORDER ______________

This cause came to be considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and was submitted under L.A.R. 34.1(a) on September 20, 2022.

Plaintiff in this case filed two appeals. The first (No. 21-3360) was filed after the District Court initially dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint on November 23, 2021, without prejudice and with leave to amend. Plaintiff then stood on the complaint and the District Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice on February 18, 2022. Plaintiff filed a second appeal from the dismissal with prejudice (No. 22-1333). The appeals were consolidated for all purposes.

On September 15, 2023, this Court issued an opinion agreeing with the District Court’s dismissal of the case. Baker v. Croda Inc., 2023 WL 5993109 (3d Cir. Sep. 15, 2023). The opinion was inadvertently filed only in Plaintiff’s first appeal (No. 21-3360), and the accompanying judgment only affirmed the District Court’s November 23, 2021, order.

For the reasons set forth in the September 15, 2023, opinion, it is now hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the District Court’s Order entered on February 18, 2022, is AFFIRMED. Costs will not be taxed.

By the Court, s/ L. Felipe Restrepo Circuit Judge
