Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Filed: 2026-11-02 The third-circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of Jasmine Coleman’s amended complaint and its denial of her motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. The court applied plenary review to the dismissal for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and reviewed the denial of the motion to amend for abuse of discretion. The court held that Coleman forfeited any arguments not fully developed in her opening brief, including her claims regarding the lack of explanation or notice from the District Court. The record demonstrated that the District Court had adequately explained why the amended complaint failed the plausibility standard and explicitly warned Coleman that any subsequent amendment would be her final opportunity to cure those deficiencies. Because Coleman failed to correct the identified deficiencies in her proposed second amended complaint, the court found the District Court acted within its discretion in denying leave to amend as futile under *Shane v. Fauver*. As a result, the judgment of the District Court stands, and Coleman’s appeal is dismissed with prejudice. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service.
