In its Motion, Defendant asks the Court to strike Paragraphs 68 through 73 of Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's Complaint. These paragraphs allege Counts I and II which this Court previously dismissed with prejudice. See Mem. Op. and Order (Doc. No. 86). Accordingly, Defendant argues "there is no reason for Match to substantively respond to Paragraphs 68 through 73" and the Court should strike these paragraphs which "refer solely to claims already dismissed." Mot. at 1. A district court "may strike from a pleading an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous material." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f). The Court has discretion in deciding a motion to strike. See Cambridge Toxicology Grp., Inc. v. Exnicios, 495 F.3d 169, 178 (5th Cir. 2007). The Court agrees that Defendant need not answer or otherwise respond to Counts I and II. However, the Court does not agree that this justifies striking Paragraphs 68 through 73 of the Complaint. These paragraphs allege only Counts I and II which have been dismissed; therefore, it is unnecessary to strike these specific allegations. The Court DENIES the Motion as moot.

March 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 86 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)
