RICO Action Dismissal Affirmed
In Norex Petro. Ltd. v. Access Indus., Inc., No. 07-4553, a RICO action alleging various injuries to plaintiff arising from the activities of defendants’ alleged international criminal enterprise, the court affirmed the dismissal of the complaint where 1) the question of the justiciability of the RICO claims is properly one of whether the complaint adequately states a claim for relief; and 2) because the RICO statute lacked a clear statement of extraterritorial reach, plaintiff’s claims are barred.
