What is the test for a motion to dismiss an order dismissing the third claim of the complaint?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hunt v. Mobil Oil Corp., 550 F.2d 68 (2nd Cir. 1977):

Domestic corporations play a variety of roles in the affairs of foreign nations, some of which may be forbidden under our laws. Where, as here, the wrong complained of is the role played rather than the possible political reaction thereto, I think it wrong to predicate an act of state defense upon the face of the pleadings. A complaint "should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957).

I would reverse the order dismissing the third claim of the complaint.

* Of the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation.
