Before MAJOR, SCHNACKENBERG and PARKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PARKINSON, Circuit Judge.
On March 25, 1957, some two years after the District Court had denied a motion of the plaintiffs to vacate an order dismissing their complaint for the reason 'that no cause of action has been stated', the plaintiffs filed a written statement electing to stand on their complaint, as amended. The District Court thereupon entered an order dismissing plaintiffs' cause of action. This appeal followed.
The complaint, as amended, is in two counts. Count I seeks recovery of money plaintiffs paid for securities sold to them by the defendants in alleged violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 15 U.S.C.A. § § 77a et seq. and 78a seq., respectively. Count II is in the form of a common law action for fraud.
The District Court filed a written memorandum holding that there was no sale of securities within the meaning of the aforementioned Acts and held as 'no cause of action has been stated under those Acts, the Complaint will be dismissed.'
The core question presented to us on this appeal is whether the complaint does or does not state a claim upon which relief can be granted. This question must be resolved against the backdrop of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A., which do not require the alleging of facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action but only a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, and the well-settled rule of pleading thereunder that on a motion to dismiss, a complaint should be construed in the light most favorable to plaintiff with all doubts resolved in his favor; and in view of what is alleged, with all allegations well pleaded being taken as true, if it can reasonably be conceived that the plaintiff can make a case upon trial which would entitle him to some relief the complaint should not be dismissed. Tahir Erk v. Glenn L. Martin Co., 4 Cir., 1941, 116 F.2d 865, 867 and 869; Continental Collieries v. Shober, 3 Cir., 1942, 130 F.2d 631, 635; Cool v. International Shoe Co., 8 Cir., 1944, ...
