The following excerpt is from Parra v. Parra, Case No.: 20-cv-839-DMS-JLB (S.D. Cal. 2021):

Generally, when a court dismisses a complaint, leave to amend is granted "even if no request to amend the pleading was made, unless [the court] determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured by the allegation of other facts." Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc) (internal citation omitted).
