In Myers v. MAIF, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland applied the pleading standards established by the Supreme Court in Ashcroft v. Iqbal and dismissed the plaintiff's age and disability discrimination claims. The Court ruled that based upon the facts set forth in the Complaint the plaintiff had failed to set forth a "plausible" claim under either the ADEA or ADA. A copy of the case can be read here.
