The following excerpt is from Sanders v. Hughes Aircraft Co., 26 F.3d 132 (9th Cir. 1994):
2 Normally, in reviewing a dismissal for failure to state a claim we confine our review to the contents of the complaint. Sanders attached the union's letter to his complaint, however. Therefore, we properly may consider it on appeal. See Holden v. Hagopian, 978 F.2d 1115, 1118 (9th Cir.1992) (court may consider complaint and all materials properly attached thereto).
