drafting a complaint
![Page 7: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
what purposes does a complaint serve?
![Page 8: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Three things that can be wrong with (the factual allegations in) a complaint:1) legal sufficiency of factual allegations 2) level of specificity in factual allegations 3) evidentiary support for factual allegations

Sierocinski v. E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co.
3d Cir. 1939
![Page 10: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Did Sierocinski’s complaint state a claim?
![Page 11: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Did Sierocinski’s complaint satisfy R 8(a)(2)?
![Page 12: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
- Rule 8. General Rules of Pleading
(a) Claim for Relief. A pleading that states a claim for relief must contain:...(2) a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief...

Do subsequent events show that the 3d Circuit’s decision was
wrong?
Even after discovery no evidentiary support for negligence
was found.
![Page 14: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Did Raymond White violate R. 11?
![Page 15: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly
(U.S. 2007)
![Page 16: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What decision by the trial court was appealed?
![Page 17: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Did the plaintiffs state a claim?
what was the element that was left out?
![Page 18: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Paragraph 51“In the absence of any meaningful competition between the [baby bells] in one another’s markets, and in light of the parallel course of conduct that each engaged in to prevent competition from [locals] within their respective local telephone and/or high speed internet services markets and the other facts and market circumstances alleged above, Plaintiffs allege upon information and belief that Defendants have entered into a contract, combination or conspiracy to prevent entry in their respective local telephone and/or high speed internet service markets and have agreed not to compete with one another and otherwise allocated customers and markets to one another.”
![Page 19: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stevens: But the plaintiffs allege in three places in their complaint, ¶¶ 4, 51, 64, App. 11, 27, 30, that the [baby bells] did in fact agree both to prevent competitors from entering into their local markets and to forgo competition with each other. And as the Court recognizes, at the motion to dismiss stage, a judge assumes “that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact).”
![Page 20: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The majority circumvents this obvious obstacle to dismissal by pretending that it does not exist. The Court admits that “in form a few stray statements in the complaint speak directly of agreement,” but disregards those allegations by saying that “on fair reading these are merely legal conclusions resting on the prior allegations” of parallel conduct. Ante, at 1970. The Court's dichotomy between factual allegations and “legal conclusions” is the stuff of a bygone era, supra, at 1976 - 1977.
![Page 21: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Is the problem that the plaintiffs alleged that the parallel behavior
was the agreement?
![Page 22: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What would be the analogue in Sierocinski of alleging that the
parallel behavior was the agreement?
![Page 23: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What 8(a)(2) violated then?
Were the defendants not put on notice about the nature of the
alleged agreement?
![Page 24: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How can an agreement in restraint of trade arise?
Must there always be a “handshake”?
![Page 25: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Assuming the plaintiffs are alleging an implicit agreement, are the
defendants put on notice?
![Page 26: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
So what is the problem with the complaint then?
![Page 27: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Imagine that there was a trialand all that the Ps offered for
evidence of an agreement was parallel behavior?
What result?
![Page 28: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Is there enough evidence at the pleading stage to justify the burden of discovery on the
defendant?
![Page 29: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If R. 11 is doing its job, do we need Twombly?
![Page 30: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Souter:Asking for plausible grounds to infer an agreement does not impose a probability requirement at the pleading stage; it simply calls for enough fact to raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of illegal agreement.
![Page 31: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Assume that the complaint had alleged a handshake agreement among the CEOs of the baby bells at a particular meeting and named the date. No evidence is offered at all. Is Twombly satisfied?
![Page 32: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
If the problem driving Twombly is the cost of discovery, is there any
way to limit this cost?
![Page 33: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Did Sierocinski’s complaint satisfy Twombly?
![Page 34: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Has R 8(a)(2) effectively been amended?
![Page 35: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
28 U.S.C. § 2072. - Rules of procedure and evidence; power to prescribe
(a) The Supreme Court shall have the power to prescribe general rules of practice and procedure and rules of
evidence for cases in the United States district courts (including proceedings
before magistrate judges thereof) and courts of appeals. . . .
![Page 36: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Even if the Twombly decision effectively amended R 8(a)(2), is it permissible, given the S Ct is the
author of the FRCP?
![Page 37: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
28 U.S.C. § 2074(a)The Supreme Court shall transmit to the Congress not later
than May 1 of the year in which a rule prescribed under section 2072 is to become effective a copy of the proposed rule. Such rule shall take effect no earlier than December 1 of the year in which such rule is so transmitted unless otherwise provided by
law. The Supreme Court may fix the extent such rule shall apply to proceedings then pending, except that the Supreme Court shall not require the application of such rule to further
proceedings then pending to the extent that, in the opinion of the court in which such proceedings are pending, the
application of such rule in such proceedings would not be feasible or would work injustice, in which event the former rule
applies.

Six months after the dismissal in Twombly, the plaintiffs’ lawyers find in the trash outside various baby bells’ offices memos indicating that the baby bells were intentionally coordinating their behavior in just the manner that the Twombly complaint suggested.They file a new complaint in federal court with this evidence described.What result?
![Page 39: Tues., Sept. 2. three themes Balance: 1) upholding the substantive rule of law 2) other interests (e.g. party autonomy and privacy) and 3) efficiency.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb3a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

What are the alleged facts that the plaintiff claims entitle him to
relief?

Does Iqbal state a claim?
