In what circumstances will a plaintiff be permitted to continue to pursue an amended complaint?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Bledsoe v. Granberry, No. 2:19-cv-1648 JAM DB PS (E.D. Cal. 2020):

More generally, plaintiff is again cautioned that if plaintiff elects to file a second amended complaint "the tenet that a court must accept as true all of the allegations contained in a complaint is inapplicable to legal conclusions. Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678
