United States Supreme Court


Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd., 06--484

In the context of private securities fraud actions and the pleading requirements of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA) intended to check abusive litigation, to qualify as "strong" within the intendment of section 21D(b)(2), an inference of scienter must be more than merely plausible or reasonable -- it must be cogent and at least as compelling as any opposing inference of nonfraudulent intent.
