OPINION & ORDER
PEREZ-GIMENEZ, District Judge.
Defendant Casiano Communications, Inc. (“Casiano”) moves for the dismissal of Plaintiff The San Juan Star’s (“TSJS”) complaint for failure to state a claim on the grounds that the speech at issue is not commercial and is thus subject to heightened First Amendment protection. (Dkt.7) Defendant also contends that the publications at issue do not constitute false advertisements, libel, and that TSJS lacks standing to exercise a claim under Puerto Rico’s antitrust laws. Plaintiff opposes Defendant’s motion. (Dkt.28)
