What is the test for a plaintiff to be successful in a motion for personal injury?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Dewey v. Regents of Univ. of Cal., No. 2:18-cv-3235-MCE-EFB PS (E.D. Cal. 2020):

obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief' requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of a cause of action's elements will not do. Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level on the assumption that all of the complaint's allegations are true." Id. (citations omitted). Dismissal is appropriate based either on the lack of cognizable legal theories or the lack of pleading sufficient facts to support cognizable legal theories. Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990).
