MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re: 39 MOTION to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint filed by Vijay Garg: Under New York law, an individual is not personally liable for a corporation's tortious acts merely because he serves as th e CEO or other officer of that corporation. PetEdge attempts to circumvent that rule by dressing up its claims of TPC's tortious conduct with conclusory allegations of Garg's personal participation. Stripping those away leaves an empty su it. Accordingly, and for the reasons described above, Defendant Vijay Garg's motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and PetEdge's second amended complaint is dismissed in its entirety. PetEdge is granted leave to amend within 30 days after the date of this order. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at ECF No. 39. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 2/10/2017) (tn)
