1Opinion of the Court
OAKES, Chief Judge:
In this trade name infringement case, under section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (1988), Doe Lang appeals from an opinion and order of, and a judgment entered pursuant thereto in, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Louis L. Stanton, Judge, granting defendant Retirement Living Publishing Co. Inc.’s (Retirement Living) motion for summary judgment. Because we agree with the district court that Lang failed to raise a genuine issue of fact on the likelihood of confusion, we affirm.
