Text: We review the dismissal of a claim under Rule 12(b)(6) de novo. E.g., Golden v. City of Columbus, 404 F.3d 950, 958 (6th Cir. 2005); Gao v. Jenifer, 185 F.3d 548, 552 (6th Cir. 1999). The allegations in the complaint are assumed to be true and the question is whether “relief could be granted under any set of facts that could be proved consistent with the allegations.” Sistrunk v. City 1 Smith’s two prior attempts to appeal the order (on March 31, 2003 and October 14, 2003) were dismissed by this Court for lack of jurisdiction because the judgment in the case was not yet final as to all defendants. 3 No. 04-3348 of Strongsville, 99 F.3d 194, 197 (6th Cir. 1996) (quotation marks and citation omitted); see also Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236 (1974); Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957).
