demurrer without leave to amend, courts must assume the truth of the complaint's

properly pleaded or implied factual allegations. [Citation.] Courts must also consider

judicially noticed matters. [Citation.] In addition, we give the complaint a reasonable

demurrer, we determine whether the complaint states facts sufficient to state a cause of

action. If the court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend, . . . we must decide

whether there is a reasonable possibility the plaintiff could cure the defect with an

amendment. [Citation.] If we find that an amendment could cure the defect, we conclude

that the trial court abused its discretion and we reverse; if not, no abuse of discretion has
