The allegations of a complaint, along with other materials properly before the court on a motion to dismiss, can establish an absolute bar to recovery. See Weisbuch v. Cty. of L.A., 119 F.3d 778, 783 n.1 (9th Cir. 1997) ("If the pleadings establish facts compelling a decision one way, that is as good as if depositions and other expensively obtained evidence on summary judgment establishes the identical facts.").
