From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

As courts have regularly maintained, t he allegations set forth in a complaint may not simply recite the elements of a cause of action. A plausible “short and plain” state- ment of the plaintiff’s claim, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2), must contain putative facts that provide fair notice and show that the plaintiff is entitled to relief. Skinner v. Switzer , 562 U.S. 521 (2011).
