7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Sandra Hunter and Marla Strappe v. Elanco Animal Health Incorporated, et al.
No. 23-3061
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Before Circuit Judges Jackson-Akiwumi, Lee and Pryor. This appeal addresses the dismissal of a proposed securities class action against Elanco Animal Health and its executives. The district court concluded that the plaintiffs, asserting claims under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, failed to meet the heightened pleading requirements related to material misrepresentations and scienter. The court found that the plaintiffs did not adequately allege that Elanco’s channel-stuffing practices constituted fraud, nor that the executives intended to deceive investors about product demand. Thus, the court dismissed the proposed second amended complaint with prejudice. Judge Pryor authored the opinion, with Judges Jackson-Akiwumi and Lee joining. There were no concurrences or dissents.
