Date Filed Document Text
April 18, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS MOTION TO DISMISS 9 by Judge Dean D. Pregerson: The Court GRANTS the Divens Defendants motion to dismiss Plaintiffs RICO claim with prejudice.The Court also GRANTS the Divens Defendants motion to dismiss Plaintiffs fraud and breach of contract claims as to the Divens Defendants.Finally, because Plaintiffs RICO claim is pled against all Defendants and Plaintiff has insufficiently alleged an association-in-fact enterprise consisting of all Defendants, the RICO claim is dismissed with prejudice as to all remaining Defendants.Plaintiff cannot possibly win RICO damages against the remaining Defendants as he has failed to allege the existence of an enterprise. For the same reasons as with the state law claims against the Divens Defendants, the Court also dismisses the fraud, breach of contract, and negligence claims as to all remaining Defendants, without prejudice as to their re-filing in state court.
