3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A]bsent good cause, [the plaintiffs] were improperly dismissed unless on remand it should be determined that their discharge was pursuant to an actual reorganization of the agency ... The complaint was improperly dismissed because it does not appear beyond doubt that plaintiffs could prove no set of facts in support of their claim which would entitle them to relief. Of course, if defendants on remand could show that plaintiffs were discharged pursuant to a reorganization in fact, plaintiffs would not be entitled to relief.”
