Accordingly, Sun Trading’s state law claims are hereby dismissed without prejudice to re-filing in state court. B. Plaintiff’s Cross Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint Sun Trading moves for leave to amend its complaint to include Kenwood Japan and Art Union Records as defendants, in place of Kenwood Electronics Corp. The Court finds that amendment of the complaint at this stage would be futile.

Accordingly, plaintiffs motion for leave to amend the complaint is hereby denied. See Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227, 230, 9 L.Ed.2d 222 (1962) (<HOLDING>).
