1 Judge Ambro assumed senior status on February 6, 2023.
2 Judge Fuentes was a member of the merits panel. However, he took inactive status on
September 12, 2024 and did not participate in this decision. This judgment order is filed
by a quorum of the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 46; Third Circuit I.O.P. 12.1(b).

Plaintiff in this case filed two appeals. The first (No. 21-3360) was filed after the
District Court initially dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint on November 23, 2021, without
prejudice and with leave to amend. Plaintiff then stood on the complaint and the District
Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice on February 18, 2022. Plaintiff filed a
second appeal from the dismissal with prejudice (No. 22-1333). The appeals were
consolidated for all purposes.
On September 15, 2023, this Court issued an opinion agreeing with the District
Court’s dismissal of the case. Baker v. Croda Inc., 2023 WL 5993109 (3d Cir. Sep. 15,
2023). The opinion was inadvertently filed only in Plaintiff’s first appeal (No. 21-3360),
and the accompanying judgment only affirmed the District Court’s November 23, 2021,
order.
For the reasons set forth in the September 15, 2023, opinion, it is now hereby
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the District Court’s Order entered on February 18,
2022, is AFFIRMED. Costs will not be taxed.
By the Court,
