ASWAN’s claim that the defendants conspired to force
homeless people out of downtown Richmond by relocating
homeless services to Oliver Hill Way fails because it is com-
prised almost entirely of conclusory allegations unsupported
by concrete facts. For example, the allegations that "Doe(s)
and the City entered into a conspiracy" and that "Homeward
was created as part of the conspiracy and . . . became part of
the conspiracy" are "[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a
cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements,"
and are therefore not sufficient to state a claim. See Iqbal, 129
S. Ct. at 1949-50.
