The following excerpt is from Chen v. Coven, 15-3464 (2nd Cir. 2017):

In reviewing the dismissal of a complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, we review legal conclusions de novo and accept "all material facts alleged in the complaint as true and draw[] all reasonable inferences in the plaintiff's favor."
