My Three Yorkies, LLC and Joy Dorfman appeal the district court’s final judgment, which awarded over 30 plaintiffs damages for false advertising and false endorsement under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(B), following the entry of summary judgment on liability and a jury award of damages. With the benefit of oral argument, and following a review of the record, we reverse. There was not enough evidence to support the entry of summary judgment against Yorkies or Mrs. Dorfman, and as a result the damages awards cannot stand.
