July 27, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 42 MINUTE ORDER (IN CHAMBERS) GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT #27 #31 by Judge Stephen V. Wilson. Dismissal of a complaint without leave to amend is appropriate where further amendment of the claims would be futile. See Chappel v. Lab. Corp. of Am., 232 F.3d 719, 72526 (9th Cir. 2000). Plaintiff has amended his complaint once, the Court has denied a second attempt to amend the FAC on the basis of futility, and as explained above, the Court does not find that Plaintiff can litigate the issues he raises before this Court under either 1983 or the ADA. Because the Court finds that further amendment of the operative complaint would be futile, the Court's dismissal of Plaintiff's lawsuit iswithout leave to amend. (See document for further details).
