The following excerpt is from Groover v. County of San Diego Sheriff's Dept., 996 F.2d 1224 (9th Cir. 1993):
Before dismissing a pro se civil rights complaint for failure to state a claim, the district court must give the plaintiff a statement of the complaint's deficiencies. Id. at 623-24. The district court also must allow the pro se litigant to amend his complaint, unless it is absolutely clear that the deficiencies of the complaint could not be cured by amendment. Noll v. Carlson, 809 F.2d 1446, 1448 (9th Cir.1987).
