The following excerpt is from Gentala V. City Of Tucson 9717069, 213 F.3d 1055 (9th Cir. 2000):
We also review for abuse of discretion the district court's denial of leave to amend. See Bonin v. Calderon, 59 F.3d 815,845 (9th Cir. 1995). Although there are strong public policy justifications urging liberality in granting leave to amend, "[f]utility of amendment can, by itself, justify the denial of a motion for leave to amend." Id.
