Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida _________________________

(June 13, 2007)

Before CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges, and WALTER,* District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the district court is affirmed for the reasons set out in the

district court’s order granting summary judgment, which was filed on June 19,

2006, except that we do not reach the issue of whether the “plus factors”

requirement from antitrust law is applicable in civil RICO cases. Even if that

requirement is not applicable, the district court’s judgment is still due to be

affirmed under the facts and circumstances of this case.

AFFIRMED.

* Honorable Donald E. Walter, United States District Judge for the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation.
