Is a plaintiff entitled to amend or amend the entire action against all defendants?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hanley v. California, No. 2:20-CV-0995-TLN-DMC-P (E.D. Cal. 2020):
Because it does not appear possible that the deficiencies identified herein can be cured by amending the complaint, plaintiff is not entitled to leave to amend prior to dismissal of the entire action. See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1126, 1131 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc).
Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that plaintiff's claims against all defendants be dismissed.
