Does a court have discretion to deny leave to amend a motion where plaintiff has previously amended the complaint?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from D.D. Investors, Inc. v. Sherwin-Williams Co., Inc., 5 F.3d 535 (9th Cir. 1993):

Finally, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend. "The district court's discretion to deny leave to amend is particularly broad where plaintiff has previously amended the complaint," Allen v. City of Beverly Hills, 911 F.2d 367, 373 (9th Cir.1987) (citations omitted), and here plaintiff has had at least three opportunities to amend the complaint.
