abuse of discretion a denial of leave to amend a complaint. Zucco Partners, LLC

v. Digimarc Corp., 552 F.3d 981, 989 (9th Cir. 2009). We affirm.

futile. See id. at 1007 (explaining that a district court’s discretion to deny leave to

amend is particularly broad where plaintiff has failed to cure deficiencies by

previous amendments).

Appellees’ request for judicial notice, filed on December 4, 2014, is denied

as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
