amended Complaint. “Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires that allegations in the complaint give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiffs claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.” Pickern v. Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc., 457 F.3d 963, 968 (9th Cir.2006) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The new grounds upon which QRS seeks to base its breach of contract claim are distinct from the grounds stated in QRS’s amended Complaint. Considering QRS’s new theories at this point would effectively amend the Complaint after the close of discovery and initiation of summary judgment proceedings. Accordingly, this Court finds that QRS’s amended Complaint did not provide IPC with fair notice and will not consider QRS’s new theories. See id. at 968-969; id. at 969 (<HOLDING>); Tollis, Inc. v. County of San Diego, 505 F.3d
