FOR JUDGMENT ON THE

After considering the papers submitted by Defendant Nike, Inc. (“Nike”):

Defendant Nike’s Motion for Summary Judgment and for Judgment on the
Pleadings was GRANTED. (Doc. 180) There were no triable issues of material fact as
to the causes of action asserted in Plaintiff Oakley, Inc.’s (“Oakley”) First Amended
Complaint against Nike. Oakley failed to demonstrate any facts supporting its cause of
action for intentional interference with contractual relations.

Oakley could not

maintain its claim for relief for unfair competition under California Business and

1

Professions Code Section 17200. Oakley’s claim for declaratory relief failed as a

2

matter of law because the claim attempts to remedy past wrongdoing and is duplicative

3

of Oakley’s other two claims.

Accordingly, judgment is hereby entered in favor of Defendant Nike and against
Plaintiff Oakley on all causes of action in Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
