Heading: Hemi Group Association-In-Fact Enterprise

Text: However, we affirm the District Court's finding that the City failed to sufficiently allege a functioning unit with respect to the Hemi Group association-in-fact enterprise. Although the City alleges that the Hemi Group association-in-fact displays a continuity of structure and personnel, and has a consensual decision-making structure, the City alleges no facts tending to support this stock allegation. The bare allegations that A1 Enterprises works with the Hemi Group to conceal from New York City cigarette sales; that Kai Gachupin is believed to be an officer or employee of A1 Enterprises, as well as an owner or shareholder of the Hemi Group, are insufficient to plead the type of continuity required for an association-in-fact enterprise.
