Want to know:

After New York City law enforcement gets wind that the Islamic State is about to perpetrate a terrorist attack, it launches an investigation and Mohammed (domiciled in New Jersey) ends up locked in a cell for 23 hours a day under an "interrogate and hold program" in New York City after he is picked up while working at an investment firm in New York City. After getting released, he sues New York City for racial discrimination under New York law in New York state court, alleging that all those subject to the "interrogate and hold" program were Arab Muslims. New York City removes to federal court and files a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. New York state has an identical version of Rule 8, but it has rejected Iqbal and held that Doe provides the proper standard to assess complaints. The federal court dismissed Mohammed's complaint and now the case is on appeal. True or false, under York, the appeals court will apply New York state's pleading standard?
