““(a) Claims for Relief. A pleading which sets forth a claim for relief, * * * shall contain (1) a short and plain statement of the grounds upon which the court’s jurisdiction depends, * * * (2) a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, and (3) a demand for judgment for the relief to which he deems himself entitled.

4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““[t]he present Second Amended Complaint * * * apparently alleges fraud and conspiracy in violation of civil rights. We use the word ‘apparently’ because the complaint, though a Second Amended Complaint, is so verbose, confused and redundant that its true substance, if any, is well disguised.” Corcoran v. Yorty, 347 F.2d 222, 223 (9th Cir. 1965), cert. den. 382 U.S. 966 , 86 S.Ct. 458 , 15 L.Ed.2d 370 (1965).”
