“a plaintiff's obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do.' " Republic Bank & Trust Co. v. Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. , 683 F.3d 239 , 246-47 (6th Cir.2012). Furthermore, "[i]t is 'well-settled that conspiracy claims must be pled with some degree of specificity and that vague and conclusory allegations unsupported by material facts will not be sufficient to state such a claim under § 1983.' " Fieger v. Cox , 524 F.3d 770 , 776 (6th Cir. 2008) ( quoting Gutierrez v. Lynch , 826 F.2d 1534 , 1538 (6th Cir.1987) ).
