Opinion

Civil Action No. 09-cv-00496-ZLW-KLM.

ORDER


The matter before the Court is Defendant's Motion For Dismissal (Doc. No. 9). The Court has determined that the motion can be resolved on the papers without a hearing.

"[T]o withstand a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain enough allegations of fact `to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" "`[T]he mere metaphysical possibility that some plaintiff could prove some set of facts in support of the pleaded claims is insufficient; the complaint must give the court reason to believe that this plaintiff has a reasonable likelihood of mustering factual support for these claims.'" "The burden is on the plaintiff to frame a `complaint with enough factual matter (taken as true) to suggest' that he or she is entitled to relief," and claims which are no more than "labels and conclusion" are insufficient.

Robbins, 519 F.3d at 1247 (quoting Twombly, 127 S. Ct. at 1965).
