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

• concluding that similar allegations were “nothing more than legal conclusions devoid of any factual support” and thus did “not meet the pleading standard required under Iqbal and Twombly”
• asserting that component of DoD “began investigating him for selling Persian rugs — not for failing to report the sales on his income tax returns or anything that would be racially neutral and non-racist”
• dismissing Section 1981 claim because “[a]t the end of the day, Plaintiff’s case boils down to an argument that because he was mistreated and because he is black, there must be some connection between the two.”
• “[Plaintiff] has not, for example, alleged that any of the tellers at the Bank made any negative comments to him or treated him in a hostile or inappropriate manner.”
