MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mountain High Knitting, Inc. v. Reno, 51 F.3d 216 (9th Cir. 1995):
This court reviews de novo the district court's dismissal of causes of action for failure to state a claim. Buckey v. County of Los Angeles, 968 F.2d 791, 793-94 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 113 S.Ct. 599, 121 L.Ed.2d 536 (1992). Review of such dismissals is based on the contents of the complaint, and it must appear beyond doubt that the plaintiffs could prove no set of facts which would entitle them to relief on their claims. Id. at 794.
