Text: 65 We review de novo the district court's dismissal of Brody's and Janas' complaints for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). See Johnson v. Knowles, 113 F.3d at 1117. On review, we accept Brody's allegations as true and construe them in the light most favorable to her. See id. This Court reviews a grant of summary judgment de novo. See Ghotra v. Bandila Shipping, Inc., 113 F.3d 1050, 1054 (9th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, __ U.S. __, 118 S. Ct. 1034, 140 L. Ed. 2d 101 (1998). We review for abuse of discretion the district court's finding that it would not have been futile for Janas to make a demand on SGI's directors, see Greenspun v. Del E. Webb Corp., 634 F.2d 1204, 1208 (9th Cir. 1980), but review de novo the district court's dismissal of Janas' complaint without leave to amend, see Polich v. Burlington N., Inc., 942 F.2d 1467, 1472 (9th Cir. 1991). 66 We turn now to the question of whether the district court was correct in dismissing the complaints in this case.
