Text: Karns and Malick rely on their capacities as shareholder and limited partner in BCI and BGH, respectively, to assert their RICO claims. As discussed above, a shareholder’s injuries that result from racketeering activity directed toward a corporation are too indirect to sustain a RICO claim. See Pelletier, 921 F.2d at 1500; Warner, 828 F.2d at 1530. The same is true of a limited partner’s injuries in the same circumstances. See Whalen v. Carter, 954 F.2d 1087, 1093 (5th Cir. 1992). Accordingly, neither Karns nor Malick has standing to pursue RICO claims for their individual injuries.
