ausencia de una pretensión deducible en derecho


Explanation:
The complete phrase in English is "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted" which means that the plaintiff/claimant has indeed filed the complaint (i.e., "ha presentado/interpuesto/formalizado la demanda") but that the complaint fails to state a claim or cause of action ("pretensión" in Spanish) that entitles him to relief in a court of law. This is, I believe, adequately expressed by the phrase "por ausencia de una pretensión deducible en derecho".
