1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
Edwin Kennedy appeals the district court’s decision to dismiss his copyright infringement claim pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Kennedy claims that this decision was in error because the consulting agreement he entered into with the National Juvenile Detention Association (“NJDA”) did not grant either the NJDA or the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission (“IJJC”) the right to produce derivative works from his report. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the district court’s decision.
