THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze and discuss issues surrounding claims brought under 18 U.S. Code 1964 of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. * * * RICO creates a private civil cause of action that allows '[a]ny person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation of section 1962 to sue in federal district court.... A successful plaintiff may recover threefold the damages....RICO is implicated when defendants have engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity. That pattern consists of certain statutorily defined predicate acts encompass[ing] dozens of state and federal offenses that together demonstrate the existence or threat of continued criminal activity. The statute sets forth four specific prohibitions aimed at different ways in which a pattern of racketeering activity may be used to infiltrate, control, or operate a[n] enterprise['s] criminal misconduct. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants violated two of those prohibitions - 1962(c) and (d). Section 1962(c) proscribes participating in the conduct of an interstate enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity, which RICO defines as at least two acts of racketeering activity. Section 1962(d) makes it unlawful to conspire to violate subsections (a) through (c).
