ARGUED MARCH 31, 2010

Before MANION and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and DARRAH, District Judge.

The district court dismissed her complaint, finding she lacked standing under the Lanham Act to sue for trademark infringement. She appeals, and because we agree that Stayart lacks standing under the Lanham Act, we affirm.
