No specific laws identified for this ruling.
Plaintiff's complaint was dismissed for failure to state a plausible claim for relief under the pleading standards of Twombly and Iqbal. The plaintiff's conclusory allegations of discrimination based on race, age, and disability, even when considered together with her NEOC charge, failed to allege sufficient factual content to make relief plausible.
