Can a plaintiff amend his complaint to state a viable cause of action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cromer v. Barton, A143053, A143443 (Cal. App. 2015):
In addition, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by not granting leave to amend. Cromer contends the court erred by ruling that there was no reasonable possibility that he could amend the complaint to state a viable cause of action, but he fails to explain how. Because he has not provided any "reasoned argument or citations to authority, we treat the point as waived." (Benach v. County of Los Angeles (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 836, 852.)
