MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER - Before the Court are: (1) Defendant Match Group, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss ("Motion to Dismiss") (Doc. No. 20); (2) Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's Motion to Exclude Matters Outside the Pleadings Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(d) ("Motion to Exclude") (Doc. No. 26); and (3) Plaintiff Federal Trade Commissions Motion for Leave to File Sur-Reply ("Motion for Leave") (Doc. No. 32). The Court has carefully considered each of the motions, the responses, the replies, the supporting appendices, the applicable law, and the relevant portions of the record. The Court grants Defendant Match Group, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss as to the claim for equitable monetary relief in Counts I-IV. The Court also grants Defendant Match Group, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss Counts I and II because Match is entitled to immunity under 47 U.S.C. § 230 of the Communications Decency Act, thus those claims are barred and dismissed with prejudice. Defendant Match Group, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss is denied in all other respects. The Court denies Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's Motion to Exclude. The Court also denies Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's Motion for Leave to File a Sur-reply.The Court hereby lifts the stay in this case. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 3/24/2022) (chmb) |
