92. For clarification: Evidence is not needed at this stage!
To plead a case in Federal Court, all that is required is "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." The purpose of a complaint is not to convince the court of your case. It is to state a claim, and to put the Defendant on notice of what you are accusing them of, and what remedy you are seeking from the court.
