Description
Judith Goren initiated this action against ten defendants: New Vision International, Inc. ("New Vision"), Benson Boreyko, Jason Boreyko, Ben Boreyko, Karen Boreyko and Lynne Boreyko (collectively, "the Boreykos"), Dr. Joel Wallach, Kelly Enterprise ("Kelly"), October Dynamics ("October") and Direct Marketing Services ("Direct"). In four separate counts in her amended complaint, Ms. Goren alleges that defendants Wallach, October, Direct and the Boreykos, respectively, violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. sec.sec. 1961-1968, by collaborating with the other defendants in a scheme to sell bogus health care products. In another count, Ms. Goren alleged that all defendants violated the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, Mich. Comp. Laws sec. 445.903, by virtue of their participation in the same scheme. The district court dismissed all of Ms. Goren's RICO claims pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 9(b) and 12(b)(6) for failure to plead fraud with particularity and failure to state a claim for relief. Having dismissed all of the claims over which it had original jurisdiction, the district court dismissed Ms. Goren's state law claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. For the reasons set forth in the following opinion, we affirm the district court's judgment of dismissal.
