Heading: Nevada Civil RICO

Text: Mr. Dummar claims that Defendants are liable for his damages under Nevada's civil RICO statute. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 207.470 (civil damages provision). He alleges that they engaged in three predicate offenses: extortion, perjury or subornation of perjury, and offering false evidence  all of which allegedly occurred before, during, or immediately after the 1978 probate trial. But Nevada's RICO statute was enacted in 1983 and requires that at least one of the predicate offenses have occurred after July 1, 1983: `Racketeering activity' means engaging in at least two crimes related to racketeering ... if at least one of the incidents occurred after July 1, 1983.... Id. § 207.390. Consequently, the Complaint fails to state a cause of action under the Nevada RICO statute.
