![]() OPINION AND ORDER re:25 MOTION to Dismiss the Amended Complaint and . MOTION to Disqualify Counsel filed by American University of Beirut. Plaintiff has now had an opportunity to amend with the benefit of the Court's views as expressed in its prior Opinion and Order, and its allegations still fail to state a claim for relief. In the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff does not identify any facts that suggest the possibility of a cure to the fatal defect in its pleading. Any further amendment would be futile. See McCarthy v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 482 F.3d 184, 200 (2d Cir. 2007) ([I]t is within the sound discretion of the district court to grant or deny leave to amend. A district court has discretion to deny leave for good reason, including futility, bad faith, undue delay, or undue prejudice to the opposing party.) (internal citations omitted); Cuoco v. Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000) . The Amended Complaint is dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate all pending motions and close the case. (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 6/14/2021) (nb) |
