__________________________________________ FOR APPELLANT: ROBERT V. CATALDI, pro se , New York, NY. FOR APPELLEE: CURTIS GILFILLAN, Bivona & Cohen, P.C., New York, NY. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Seibel, J. ).2 1 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, 2 AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court is 3 AFFIRMED . 4 Appellant Robert V. Cataldi, pro se , appeals from the 5 judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern 6 District of New York (Seibel, J. ), dismissing Appellant’s 7 complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the 8 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We assume the parties’ 9 familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history 1 0 of the case, and the issues on appeal. In reviewing a 1 1 district court’s dismissal of a complaint for lack of subject 1 2 matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1), we review 1 3 factual findings for clear error and legal conclusions de 14 novo , accepting all material facts alleged in the complaint 1 5 as true and drawing all reasonable inferences in the 1 6 plaintiff’s favor. See Morrison v. Nat’l Australia Bank 17 Ltd. , 547 F.3d 167, 170 (2d Cir. 2008). Similarly, we 1 8 “review de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint 1 9 pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), construing the complaint 2 0 liberally, accepting all factual allegations in the complaint 2 1 as true, and drawing all reasonable inferences in the3 1 plaintiff’s favor.” Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc. , 282 F.3d 2 147, 152 (2d Cir. 2002) 3 Having conducted a de novo review, we find that the 4 district court properly granted Appellee’s motion to dismiss. 5 The district court properly found that it lacked diversity 6 jurisdiction over Appellant’s state law claims. There is no 7 diversity between the parties because Appellant is a New York 8 resident and Appellee is a New York domestic corporation with 9 its principal place of business in New York. See 28 U.S.C. § 1 0 1332(c). 1 1 The district court also properly dismissed Appellant’s 1 2 federal claims. With respect to his Fourth Amendment claim 1 3 Appellant alleged no facts to suggest that Appellee, a 1 4 private corporation, acted under color of state law. See 15 Jackson v. Metro. Edison Co. , 419 U.S. 345, 349-50 (1974). 1 6 Nor did Appellant allege that he suffered an injury-in-fact 1 7 to establish standing. Indeed, he acknowledged that 1 8 Appellee, at his request, had not placed a remote reading 1 9 device on his property. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife , 2 0 504 U.S. 555, 560 (1992) (holding that injury must be “actual 2 1 or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical”) (internal 2 2 quotation marks omitted). Appellant also failed to allege 2 3 sufficient facts to make out the elements of a RICO4 1 violation. See 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). He failed to allege, 2 inter alia , the existence of an “enterprise,” given that “a 3 corporate entity may not be both the RICO person and the RICO 4 enterprise under section 1962(c).” Riverwoods Chappaqua 5 Corp. v. Marine Midland Bank, N.A. , 30 F.3d 339, 344 (2d Cir. 6 1994). 7 Finally, it was appropriate for the district court to 8 decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over 9 Appellant’s state law claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3); 10 Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill , 484 U.S. 343, 350 n.7 (1988) 1 1 (“[I]n the usual case in which all federal-law claims are 1 2 eliminated before trial, the balance of factors . . . will 1 3 point toward declining to exercise jurisdiction over the 1 4 remaining state-law claims.”). 1 5 For the foregoing reasons, the order of the district 1 6 court is AFFIRMED . 1 7 FOR THE COURT: 1 8 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk 19 20
