MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Rodriguez v. Colvin, Case No. 1:15-cv-01627-SKO (E.D. Cal. 2016):
In considering whether a complaint states a claim on which relief may be granted, the court accepts as true the allegations in the complaint and construes the allegations in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Hishon v. King & Spalding, 467 U.S. 69, 73 (1984). The court is not required to assume the truth of legal conclusions that are cast in the form of factual allegations.
