MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ford v. Sinklier, Case No. 17-cv-00307-BAS-PCL (S.D. Cal. 2017):

[is] ... a context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense." Id. The "mere possibility of misconduct" or "unadorned, the defendant-unlawfully-harmed me accusation[s]" fall short of meeting this plausibility standard. Id.; see also Moss v. U.S. Secret Service, 572 F.3d 962, 969 (9th Cir. 2009).
