How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • stating that “[a]nything less” than a “proper motion to amend, accompanied by a proposed amended complaint or a detailed description of proposed amendments,” “simply invites a ‘merry-go-round’ ride”
  • stating this court addresses only those claims challenged on appeal and does not “conjure facts [a pro se plaintiff] might conceivably raise in support of his 4 claims”
  • dismissing claim where the plaintiff did not allege that delay resulted in substantial harm
  • refusing to consider arguments “not tied to the allegations in the complaint”
  • setting forth liberal pleading standard that applies to pro se filings
  • “[W]e will not hypothesize sufficient facts to state a claim, especially when the materials attached to the complaint do not reasonably support doing so[.]”
