1Opinion of the Court
HANSEN, Circuit Judge.
Paul A. Gargano and his law firm, Gargano & Associates P.C., (collectively “Gargano”), appeal the district court’s dismissal of the complaint in this diversity-based lawyer’s professional liability insurance coverage dispute. Because Gargano’s insurance claim was not both made and reported within the relevant policy coverage periods, Gargano states no plausible claim for breach of contract or for deceptive business practices under Massachusetts law, and we affirm the judgment of the district court. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).
