The following excerpt is from Cruz v. Jeffreys, Case No. 15cv2826 JLS (PCL) (S.D. Cal. 2017):
Finally, if a complaint is found to fail to state a claim or is statutorily barred, the court should grant leave to amend unless it determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured by the allegations of other facts. See Doe v. United States, 58 F.3d 494, 497 (9th Cir. 1995).
