What is the legal basis for dismissal for failure to state a claim?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Galberth v. Washington, 17-2730 (2nd Cir. 2018):

We need not review the reasoning that supported dismissal for failure to state a claim, because we affirm the district court's dismissal of the claim against Ernst for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. See 42 U.S.C. 1997e(a); Leon v. Murphy, 988 F.2d 303, 308 (2d Cir. 1993) ("We may affirm . . . on any basis for which there is a record sufficient to permit conclusions of law, including grounds upon which the district court did not rely.").
