Rule 8(a). Claims for relief

    A pleading which sets forth a claim for relief, whether an original claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, or third-party claim, shall contain:

    1. A short and plain statement of the grounds upon which the court's jurisdiction depends, unless the court already has jurisdiction and the claim needs no new grounds of jurisdiction to support it.

    2. A short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.

    3. A demand for judgment for the relief the pleader seeks. Relief in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded.
