January 3, 2008 76 MEMORANDUM: For reasons further set forth in said Order, Johnson & Johnson's Complaint fails as a matter of law to allege the essentials of a claim for promissory estoppel....As for defendants' additional arguments for dismissing the First Claim, as well astheir arguments for dismissing the Second, Seventh and Eighth claims, these arguments are without merit and warrant no discussion here. Counsel are reminded that oral argument on the summary judgment motions in this case will proceed on 1/4/08 at 2:00 p.m. Set Deadlines/Hearing as to 38 MOTION for Summary Judgment. 47 MOTION for Summary Judgment: (Motion Hearing set for 1/4/2008 at 02:00 PM in Courtroom 14B, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Jed S.

May 15, 2008 79 OPINION AND OPINION 96067: For the reasons stated herein, all of the motions are denied except for the portion of J&Js motion seeking dismissal of ARCs three counterclaims and the portion of defendants motion seeking dismissal of Counts 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the Amended Complaint. As for J&Js motion for summary judgment dismissing the codefendant's two counterclaims for trademark invalidity pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2201 and cancellation of trademark under 15 U.S.C. 1119 and 15 U.S.C. 1064(3), this motion is premised entirely on the premise that if the codefendant's use of the emblem is illegal under 18 U.S.C. 706, then the codefendant's do not have standing to assert these counterclaims. Pl. Mem. at 39. Because, however, the Court has concluded that the codefendant's use of the emblem is not illegal under 18 U.S.C. 706, this argument is moot and the motion must be denied. l4 In sum, the Court hereby grants the portion of plaintiff's summary judgment motion that seeks dismissal of the three counterclaims brought by defendant American National Red Cross and hereby grants the portion of defendant's summary judgment motion that seeks dismissal of Counts 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the Amended Complaint. In all other respects, the parties respective summary judgment motions are hereby denied. Counsel are instructed to jointly call Chambers at 2 p.m. on May 16, 2008 to schedule a prompt date for trial of the remaining claims, i.e. Counts 2, 7, and 8 of the Amended Complaint and the two counterclaims of the codefendant's.

June 17, 2008 80 STIPULATION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL that the counterclaims asserted by defendants Learning Curve International, Magla Products, Water-Jel Technologies, and First Aid Only for declaratory judgment for trademark invalidity and for trademark cancellation are dismissed without prejudice. All other claims and counterclaims not heretofore disposed of by order of this Court are hereby dismissed with prejudice, with each party bearing its own costs, attorneys' fees and expenses.

June 23, 2008 81 ORDER On June 9, 2008, a courtroom view network (CVN) requested that the court issue an order permitting it to record and provide audio visual coverage of the trial in the above captioned action, which was scheduled to being on July 8, 2008. As with CVNs prior application, the court would have been predisposed to grant the application, but the parties have since settled the case, see Stipulation and Order of Dismissal dated 6/17/08, and accordingly no trial will transpire. The application is therefore denied as moot. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 6/22/08) (mme) (Entered: June 23, 2008)
