How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that Bell Atlantic requires a flexible “plausibility standard” that neither limited the subject matter to antitrust nor did it create a heightened pleading standard
  • noting that the Supreme Court in Twombly “explicitly disavowed” 31 the “no set of facts” standard
  • determining that Iqbal’s excessive-force claim — premised on supervisor liability — did not require Iqbal to plead “subsidiary facts” concerning the warden’s knowledge because “it [was] at least plausible that a warden would know of mistreatment inflicted by those under his command”
  • assuming the existence of a Bivens remedy to challenge strip searches under the Fourth Amendment
  • requiring a plaintiff who seeks to establish personal involvement by a defendant official “to amplify [his] claim with some factual allegations in those contexts where such 21 amplification is needed to render the claim plausible”
  • expressing concern that “allowing some of the Plaintiffs claims to survive a motion to dismiss might facilitate the very type of broad-ranging discovery and litigation burdens that the qualified immunity privilege was intended to prevent”
