November 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 38 MINUTE ORDER (IN CHAMBERS) - COURT ORDER by Judge Percy Anderson re: #34 MOTION to Dismiss. For all of the foregoing reasons, Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is granted. Despite having been granted leave to amend once and following dismissal of a substantially similar case, Plaintiffs added only conclusory allegations that are insufficient to state a claim for breach of the fiduciary duty. In addition, Plaintiffs do not ask for leave to amend, and make no showing that they can allege additional facts should the Court grant Plaintiffs leave to amend. The Court accordingly concludes that granting Plaintiffs leave to amend would be futile. See Thibodeaux v. Teamsters Local 853, 263 F. Supp. 3d 772, 780 (N.D. Cal. June 26, 2017). The Court therefore dismisses Plaintiffs' FAC without leave to amend. The Court will enter a judgment consistent with this Order. (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS) (mrgo)
