[PROPOSED] ORDER
Defendants have moved under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1)

3 and 12(b)(6) for dismissal of Plaintiffs’ complaint in its entirety.
4

The Court has reviewed the moving, opposition, and reply papers and heard

5 argument from counsel. After considering the submissions and arguments, the
6 Court finds that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the majority of the
7 claims asserted. As to any remaining claims, Plaintiffs have failed to state a
8 plausible claim for relief.
9

The Court finds that permitting leave to amend would be futile. Plaintiffs

10 have already amended their complaint twice and failed to cure its flaws.
11

Good cause appearing, Defendants’ motion is therefore GRANTED in its

12 entirety and Plaintiffs’ complaint is dismissed with prejudice.
13

IT IS SO ORDERED.
