Civil Practice: Dismissal-Pro Se Action-Proposed Amendments
Staff Report//March 11, 2020
Where appellant brought a pro se action against the owner of an apartment building, the appellant’s proposed amendments to her complaint would not have fixed the problems, and futility is a sufficient reason to deny leave to amend, so the dismissal of the complaint was proper.
Judgment is affirmed.
