What is the test for a pro se pleading?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Mir v. Ten Unknown FBI Agents, 20-55739 (9th Cir. 2021):

The district court properly dismissed Mir's action because Mir failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See id. at 341-42 (although pro se pleadings are construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) ("A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for misconduct alleged.").
