How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the continuing violation doctrine simply “allow[s] suit to be delayed until a series of wrongful acts blossoms into an injury on which suit can be brought”
• holding that a com- plaint must contain “enough detail, factual or argumenta- tive, to indicate that the plaintiff has a substantial case”
• observing that “continuing violations” are only those which are not actionable until the cumulative effect of a pattern of conduct reaches a non-trivial level
• reasoning that a complaint must allege facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face
• observing that although statute of limitations is a defense, plaintiff may plead himself out of court if complaint’s allegations show that suit is untimely
• explaining that pleading standards are meant to prevent “costly discovery” where the plaintiff lacks “a substantial case”
