The following excerpt is from Lee v. Cal. Attorney Gen., No. 2:15-cv-2519 AC P (E.D. Cal. 2016):
The undersigned finds that, for the reasons set forth above, the complaint fails to state a claim. The defendant named in the complaint has immunity to the type of claim plaintiff is trying to bring, and amendment would therefore be futile. "A district court may deny leave to amend when amendment would be futile." Hartmann v. CDCR, 707 F.3d 1114, 1130 (9th Cir. 2013).
