June 5, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 72 MEMORANDUM ORDER denying #61 Motion to Alter Judgment; denying #61 Motion to Amend/Correct; denying #64 Motion to Alter Judgment; denying #64 Motion to Amend/Correct: Ultimately, the PAC fails to remedy the deficiencies that led the Court to dismiss plaintiffs' FAC. It thus provides no basis for reconsidering the Court's conclusion that the FAC's deficiencies could not be cured by amendment and that dismissal with prejudice was warranted. In other words, although the Court appreciates the appropriately zealous passion with which plaintiffs press their suit, in the end they do not even make it to first base. Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration and for leave to amend is hereby denied. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 6/5/2020) (jwh)

April 7, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 56 CLERK'S JUDGMENT re: (19 in 1:20-cv-01000-JSR) Memorandum & Opinion. in favor of Boston Red Sox Baseball Club L.P., Houston Astros, LLC, MLB Advanced Media, L.P., Major League Baseball against Christopher Clifford, Christopher Lopez, Erik Liptak, Kristopher R Olson, Warren Barber. It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated April 3, 2020, In short, the connection between the alleged harm plaintiffs suffered and defendants' conduct is simply too attenuated to support any of plaintiffs' claims for relief. While the verbose, rhetorical, and largely conclusory complaint does manage to plausibly allege a few misrepresentations by defendants, these statements, which are unrelated to fantasy baseball, do not plausibly support plaintiffs' claims of reliance. Moreover, plaintiffs provide no basis for imposing a duty to disclose on defendants absent a transaction or other relationship between themselves and the defendants. This absence of duty and reliance forecloses plaintiffs' fraud and negligence claims, and the lack of a transaction, relationship, or other nexus forecloses plaintiffs' consumer protection claims. Finally, plaintiffs' failure to demonstrate that defendants' enrichment came at their expense forecloses their unjust enrichment claims. While a few of these deficiencies might conceivably be cured by giving plaintiffs another chance to amend their already amended complaint, most could not. Defendants' motions to dismiss are thus granted in their entirety, and plaintiffs' Amended Complaint is hereby dismissed with prejudice. (Signed by Clerk of Court Ruby Krajick on 04/07/2020) (Attachments: #1 Notice of Right to Appeal)Filed In Associated Cases: 1:20-cv-00632-JSR, 1:20-cv-01000-JSR (dt)
