1Opinion of the Court
KAPLAN, District Judge.
Defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter turns on whether a dispute over a publishing contract arises under the Copyright Act so as to give rise to federal jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(a). This motion is heard on remand from the Second Circuit, which set forth a new three-part test for assessing jurisdiction in these circumstances. Schoenberg v. Shapolsky, 971 F.2d 926 (2d Cir.1992). While opposing dismissal, plaintiff seeks leave to amend his complaint to add a claim for fraud in the inducement.
