California Supreme Court
201 P.3d 472 (2009)
Relevant factsFree
Season-ticket holders the Sheehans (plaintiffs) sued the 49ers (defendant) alleging that mandatory pat-down searches before games violated their state constitutional privacy rights; the 49ers demurred, and the court of appeal held the Sheehans had consented as a matter of law because they could simply choose not to attend, affirming dismissal without leave to amend.
IssueFree
Whether a demurrer may be sustained without leave to amend only if the complaint's factual allegations fail to state a cause of action under any possible legal theory.
