MARVIN D. NOOR, PETITIONER,v.ROSANNE CAMPBELL, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Petitioner is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges the denial of his parole by the Board of Parole Terms in 2005.
One of the arguments made by petitioner is that the evidence upon which the denial of parole was based is not constitutionally sufficient. The California Supreme Court has recently decided In re Lawrence, 44 Cal.4th 1181 (2008), and In re Shaputis, 44 Cal.4th 1241 (2008), concerning what evidence needs to appear in the record to support a denial of parole. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has also elected to rehear en banc the decision rendered in Hayward v. Marshall, 512 F.3d 536 (9th Cir. 2008). See Hayward v. Marshall, 527 F.3d 797 (9th Cir. 2008) (Case No. 06-55392). The Ninth Circuit has asked for briefing on the impact of Lawrence and Shaputis, among other things. It appears that the decision in Hayward will provide further guidance to the federal courts on their role in considering insufficiency of the evidence claims brought by those denied parole in California.
In light of the above, and in the interest of judicial economy, the court will direct that this action be stayed pending the Ninth Circuit's en banc decision in Hayward. If this matter is stayed, the parties need take no further action absent further direction from the court.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. This action be stayed pending the Ninth Circuit's en banc decision in Hayward v. Marshall, No. 06-55392; and
2. The Clerk of the Court be directed to administratively close this case.

DAWN COLOMBO, PLAINTIFF,v.THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR THE CLIFTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
This matter was initiated by the filing of a Verified Complaint on February 10, 2011. On that date, Plaintiff also filed an application for issuance of an Order To Show Cause directing Defendants to show why a preliminary injunction should not be entered against them. By letter of March 4, 2011, Plaintiff inquired as to the status of the application. The Court has reviewed the papers filed by Plaintiff, including the Verified Complaint and the brief in support of her application for a preliminary injunction. It concludes that Plaintiff has not demonstrated, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 65.1, that her request for a preliminary injunction should proceed in an expedited fashion by way of order to show cause. Local Civil Rule 65.1 states that "no order to show cause to bring on a matter for hearing will be granted except on a clear and specific showing by affidavit or verified pleading of good and sufficient reasons why a procedure other than by notice of motion is necessary." Plaintiff, whose daughter attends Clifton High School, seeks that her daughter be transferred to a school in another district, on the basis that the daughter has been subjected to ongoing ridicule and harassment as result of the alleged misconduct of Defendants which underlies Plaintiff's legal claims for relief. Plaintiff has not demonstrated that her request for a transfer is a matter of emergency relief. The Court further notes that the rule also makes clear that an order to show cause issued at the beginning of an action may not serve as a substitute for a summons. L.Civ.R. 65.1. In this case, there is no indication on the docket that any of the Defendants against which Plaintiff would seek to impose an injunction by emergency application have been served with a summons and copy of the Verified Complaint.
Notwithstanding Plaintiff's failure to show that emergency relief is warranted under the local rules, the Court will entertain any application for a preliminary injunction made in accordance with motion practice under Local Civil Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, IT IS on this 17th day of March, 2011, ORDERED that Plaintiff's application for the issuance of an Order To Show Cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued against Defendants be and hereby is DENIED.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
justification of private property and also compares and contrasts the role that private property plays in the theories of Locke and in his "Second Treatise" and Marx in his "Communist Manifesto." It asks whether individuals have a right to private property, or (which I think is the same thing) whether there are any good right-based arguments for private property. A right-based argument is an argument showing that an individual interest considered in itself; is sufficiently important from a moral point-of-view to justify holding people to be under a duty to promote it. So my question can be rephrased as follows. What individual interests are served by the existence of private property as opposed to some other sort of property regime (such as communism)? Are any of these interests so important from a moral point-of-view that they justify holding governments to be under a duty to promote, uphold, and protect property-owning? Or is it rather the case that, taken one by one, the interests which individuals have in the matter do not have this level of importance, and that these interests should be dealt with in the aggregate, in the form of utilitarian arguments about property institutions, rather than treated as the basis of rights?
Marx argued in The Communist Manifesto there cannot be private property for anyone at all unless nine-tenths of the population is property less -- then the possibility of a GR-based argument for private property, along the lines of the one we have attributed, is in danger. Any thesis about the inevitability of widespread propertylessness threatens the collapse of the sort of argument that Locke wants to put forward in favor of private property. It is the challenge laid down by Karl Marx in a furious response to bourgeois critics of the socialist programme outlined in The Communist Manifesto:
You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its nonexistence in the hands of these nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property the necessary condition for whose existence is the nonexistence of any property for the immense majority of society. In one word, you reproach us for intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.
Both lines of argument hold that individuals have an interest in owning things which is important enough to command respect and to constrain political action. This is a basic human interest which everyone has: owning property contributes immensely to the ethical development of the individual person. On the Locke an approach, the interest which commands respect is one which people have only on account of what they happen to have done or what has happened to them. A man who has mixed his labor with a piece of land, or acquired it legitimately from someone else, has an interest in ownership which the government must respect; but a man who has done neither of these things, but would simply rather like to own something, has no such constraining interest. The Lockean right to property, in other words, is a special right.
Locke's argument about mixing one's labor is incoherent, and does provide a good argument for a general right of a rather different sort: a general right to subsistence which imposes welfarist constraints on whatever property system there may be. But no such general right is recognized in Nozick's theory. I maintain that this is a fatal flaw: no theory of the kind that could possibly be made acceptable in the absence of a background general right to subsistence.
Throughout his work, Marx is adamant that the indictment against capitalism is not merely the fact that private property happens to be distributed unequally or in a way that leaves millions without any guaranteed access to the means of production; the problem is that private ownership is a form of property that has this characteristic necessarily. No matter how noble your egalitarian intentions, the existence of any distribution of private property rights in the means of production will lead quickly to their concentration in the hands of a few. Thus egalitarian intentions, so far as private property is concerned are hopelessly utopian, for they underestimate the dynamic tendencies of the system they are interested in: 'for us the issue cannot be the alteration of private property but its annihilation'. GR-based arguments for private property therefore would stand condemned on this approach just to the extent that they have egalitarian or quasi-egalitarian implications.
This is not Marx's only criticism of private property. The main critique throughout his work is: private property as a form for productive relations divides man from man, disguises the underlying co-operative nature of production and economic endeavor, and thus prevents the development of conscious and rational freedom in the economic sphere -- the only sphere where man can find his true self-realization. If there is a moral basis to Marx's indictment of capitalism, it is not a theory of equality but, as George Brenkert and others have argued a theory of freedom. Accumulation and the concentration of capital in a few hands, leading to mass propertylessness, is not only 'appropriate to' a capitalist mode of production; it is its inevitable result. There is a controversy as to whether Marx offers a moral indictment of injustice of capitalism at all. Certainly, in Capital, Marx argues that capitalist exploitation depends on proletarian propertylessness -- that is, on the worker being, as Marx put it ironically, 'free in the double sense that . . . he can dispose of his labor power . . . And that, on the other hand, . . . he is free of all objects needed for the realization of his labor power' -- and that it got under-way initially on the basis of forcible and bloody expropriation. The justice of this process was dubious even relative to the relations of production prevailing at the time. But those relations were pre-capitalist relations and expropriation was in those circumstances a revolutionary act by the bourgeoisie against social and political forces stifling their progressive aspirations. Relative to the capitalist relations that it ushered in, that revolutionary beginning is (retrospectively) legitimate. Certainly, on the Marxian account, there is no suggestion either of the possibility or the desirability of rectificatory redress or reversal for any putative injustice that accompanied the birth of capitalism. That would be a wholly reactionary step.
Often the most Marx appears to be saying is that private property is doomed historically, that it is obsolescent, that it will eventually, under pressure, give way to social control. If there is an evaluative dimension, it may be nothing more substantial than a commitment to the value of historical progress: 'From the standpoint of a higher economic form of society, private ownership of the globe by single individuals will appear quite as absurd [abgescbmacht] as private ownership of one man by another.' From this point-of-view, it is wrong to see Marx condemning the inevitability of propertylessness under capitalism. Nevertheless, even on this account, Marx is always prepared to get involved in moral polemics in a characteristic 'counter-punching' sort of way. If someone offers to defend private property on the sort of moral grounds that we have been considering, then Marx (as much as Proudhon) is ready to expose the contradictions and inconsistencies in that defense. That, I think, is the context of the challenge we are considering. (I should add that, on Marx's view of ideology, it is to be expected that the historically transient and contradictory character of a form of society like capitalism should be reflected in similar inconsistencies in the super structural ideas involved in its defense.)
According to Locke, not only is government action constrained by special rights of private property, but those rights are themselves constrained by a deeper and, in the last resort, more powerful general right which each man has to the material necessities for his survival. This forms the basis of what one might refer to as entitlements of charity in Locke's system. Because it constrains the rights which constrain the activities of governments, it could be argued that its effect is to extend the realm of legitimate state action and to provide a justifying ground for redistributive activism in the economic sphere. Occasionally, Locke tries to argue that, given the circumstances of human life, this general right to subsistence actually generates the moral basis of particular private property rights.
Following Marx, of the sale and purchase of labor power and therefore as if labor, in this sense, could be owned. But this sense of owning one's labor is not much use to Locke, because it cannot be transferred to objects to create an entitlement. Someone may take an object I have labored on, but still leave me with my capacity to labor. Clearly, labor (meaning…[continue]

Monticello, the mansion that Thomas Jefferson designed in the hills of Virginia near the State University that he founded, has three portraits that are to be found on the wall of President Jefferson's study that have remained there for 200 years. These portraits are of three writers Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton and John Locke. Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence and acquired the Louisiana Purchase form the French, refers
Locke vs. Marx The principles of the Enlightenment have come down to the modern world through the governments which are in currently in place. Any representative form of government, throughout the world, can trace it's roots back to John Locke and the Enlightenment principles he espoused in his Two Treatises of Government. In this book, first published in 1690, Locke spelled out his ideas on government; how it derived it's powers

Peled further argues that Rousseau was not able to solve this paradox and it was one of the reasons why he became increasingly pessimistic about modernity. But Rousseau's attempts to reconcile the contradiction in his approach are worth looking at in details. Although Rousseau abhorred inequality that rose out of private property, he did not hold any illusions about modernity. He believed
Locke's version of the social contract is essentially a justification for the wealthy to assert political control over everyone else. Locke's arguments justifying government were liberal, even radical for their time. The popular view was that kings ruled by mandate from God, and were not subject to the consent of the people. Locke's Two Treatises of Government were written during the exclusion crisis, and supported the Whig position that the
In Marx's view, equality extends in terms of distribution, where there is no private ownership, but where the government manages all goods for the supposed good of all citizens. Hence, equality extends not in terms of power, but in terms of material goods, which is managed by a centralized government. Hence, the bailout plan is ideal, with the government taking possession of the company and allowing its former owners
On the other hand, he suggested that the executive branch was responsible for insuring that the laws are actually obeyed and that it should operate continuously in society. His idea of a legislative body was one of a representative assembly, which would retain and exercise supreme power whenever it assembled. Its members would speak jointly for all people in that society. The executive and federative functions derived wholly from

ADM files are not present in SYSVOL in the GPMC Infrastructure Status option
When you examine Group Policy replication by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) Infrastructure Status option that was introduced in Windows Server 2012, you notice that all domain controllers report "replication in progress." Additionally, when you examine the SYSVOL share on the domain controllers, you notice that administrative template (ADM) files are not present in SYSVOL except on the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator. Additional examination shows that SYSVOL was previously configured by an administrator to filter out ADM files in order to minimize size.
The GPMC Infrastructure Status option does not examine files in SYSVOL by type or capability and does not follow customized File Replication Service (FRS) or Distributed File Service Replication (DFSR) filtering rules. Any file count, hash, or security differences in the SYSVOL Policies folder contents between domain controllers are flagged as "replication in progress."
This behavior is by design. There are several ways to work around this behavior. In descending order of recommendation, they are as follows:
- Change Group Policy from computers that are running Windows Vista or a later version of Windows by using a centralized ADMX store together with filters, and delete the existing ADM files from SYSVOL.
- Change Group Policy from computers that are running Windows Vista or a later version of Windows by using local copies of ADMX. (This is the default behavior.) Delete the existing ADM files from SYSVOL
- Use an alternative tool to GPMC Infrastructure Status. Do not use Group Policy Verification Tool (gpotool.exe).
- Remove the filters, and let ADM files replicate to all domain controllers.
The GPMC Infrastructure Status option does not examine folders outside the Policies folder contents. For example, it does not examine NETLOGON or the central ADMX store PolicyDefinitions folder.

With the low wattage performance and top-fill design this tank is amazing! Low cost with great results.
No more burning the roof of your mouth
Posted by val on 1st Aug 2015
I tried sub ohm with the Kanger Subtank mini, but for some reason, it kept spitting hot juice out even at 10 W range on 1.2 or .5 ohm coil. I purchased the OBS T-VCT because it has a bar above the coil to avoid hot juice hitting the roof of my mouth, and it had the 6ML tank, which puts the heat farther away from my lips. This tank is beautiful. The .25 ohm coil has the best performance, now vaping at about 26W, and no burnt mouth. Love the top loading as well, so much more fun. only con is it is more difficult to take apart to clean than the kanger was. But maybe i need to read the directions again :)
quality tank with loads of features!
Posted by meanvapes on 16th Jul 2015
I really like this tank, love the sleeved outside with open viewing window that protects the glass but still lets you see the juice level. Top fill is a plus and great capacity! The only downside for me is that I like to vape with a little more wattage then this tank can handle, Some 80w-100w coils would be perfect!
great tank

HICHAM AZKOUR, PLAINTIFF,v.JEAN-YVES HAOUZI, FRANCK MAUCORT, JESSICA COMPERIATI , LITTLE REST TWELVE, INC., SHELDON SKIP TAYLOR ESQ, LAW OFFICES OF SHELDON SKIP TAYLOR, DEFENDANTS.
Before the Court, in this action brought under the Fair Labor Standard Act ("FLSA"), is the plaintiff Hicham Azkour's ("Azkour") pro se motion, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), for leave to file a fourth-amended complaint. Azkour seeks leave from the Court to amend his third-amended complaint to add a claim pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., alleging that the defendants "engaged in the (1) conduct (2) of a criminal enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity." The motion is unopposed.
Defendant Little Rest Twelve, Inc. ("LRT") operates a restaurant and bar in Manhattan known as Ajna Bar.*fn1 Azkour worked for LRT from October 2009, until his employment ceased in February 2010. During his tenure with LRT, Azkour performed the work of a busboy and food runner. After Azkour's employment with LRT ended, he commenced a civil action against it and members of its management for failing to compensate him fully in accordance with FLSA, and analogous New York laws and regulations, and for retaliating against him. That action is pending. In the instant action, Azkour alleges that defendant Sheldon Skip Taylor (" Taylor"), LRT's former counsel in the pending FLSA action, asked inappropriate questions during Azkour's deposition, made false and defamatory statements about him, and conspired with defendants Jean-Yves Haouzi ("Haouzi"), Franck Maucort ("Maucort") and Jessica Comperiati ("Comperiati") to interfere with his rights.
In the motion at issue, Azkour seeks leave from the court to amend his complaint to add a civil RICO claim, through which he alleges that the defendants "engaged in the (1) conduct (2) of a criminal enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity." Azkour avers that, [s]ince 2006, [the defendants] have been knowingly, intelligently, and willfully transmitting or causing to be transmitted by means of mail and wire communication in interstate commerce fraudulent and inaccurate customer bills, employee labor reports, and employee earning statements for the purpose of executing [a scheme or artifice to defraud, and for obtaining money by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises] and, thus defrauding their patrons and employees alike, including Plaintiff.
Azkour contends that, "in a pattern of organized racketeering, defendants have been defrauding employees of Buddha Bar and Ajna Bar of 50% of their gratuities . . . by using mail and electronic access devices in interstate commerce . . . [and] fraudulently obtained, retained, and misappropriated monies, which . . . must be paid to the wait staff of Buddha Bar and Ajna Bar." According to Azkour, the "Defendants have been defrauding the patrons of Buddha Bar and Ajna Bar by falsely representing to them that all gratuities and service charges paid by them using credit cards and other electronic access devices would and/or will compensate the wait staff's suffered labor and services."
Azkour has filed three versions of his complaint, during the pretrial phase of this litigation. After filing his original complaint, on August 8, 2011, which was never served on any defendant, Azkour filed his first-amended complaint on October 14, 2011, which, on December 16, 2011, was served on Haouzi, Maucort, Comperiati, and LRT. However, on October 20, 2011, prior to serving the first-amended complaint, Azkour filed his second-amended complaint, and never served it on any defendant. On November 3, 2011, Azkour filed a motion for leave to amend his second-amended complaint. In an Order issued on January 31, 2012, the Court determined that Azkour's motion to amend his second-amended complaint was unnecessary, because, at the time he filed his amended pleading "1) 21 days had not elapsed after service of any of his pleadings-he had not served any of his pleadings on any defendant; and 2) 21 days had not elapsed after a responsive pleading or Rule 12(b), (e), or (f) motion had been served . . . ." Accordingly, Azkour was permitted to file his third-amended complaint, as of right, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1).
If this motion is granted, the pleading Azkour files would be the fourth iteration of his complaint. Azkour does not allege that new information has come to him that prompts him to file the instant motion to amend. It appears that the facts supporting his civil RICO claim were known to him when he filed the original complaint, but he has delayed, until now, in making any attempt to assert the civil RICO claim in this action.
The pleadings drafted by a pro se litigant, such as Azkour, are held to less stringent standards than those prepared by attorneys, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520, 92 S. Ct. 594, 596 (1972), and are to be construed liberally and interpreted to raise the strongest arguments they suggest. See Burgos v. Hopkins, 14 F.3d 787, 790 (2d Cir. 1994). In reviewing Azkour's motion to file the proposed fourth-amended complaint, the Court has applied these standards.
Once the time for amending the pleadings as a matter of course expires, "a party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave, and the court should freely give leave when justice so requires." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). "Leave to amend, though liberally granted, may properly be denied for: 'undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.'" Ruotolo v. City of New York, 514 F.3d 184, 191 (2d Cir. 2008) (quoting Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S. Ct. 227, 230 (1962)).
Motions to amend, under Rule 15(a)(2), may be made at any stage of the litigation. See 6 Charles Allen Wright, Arthur R. Miller & Mary Kay Kane, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1487 (3d. 2010). However, a party seeking to amend should bring its motion "as soon as the necessity for altering the pleading becomes apparent," to avoid an allegation of delay. Id. at § 1488; see also Cresswell v. Sullivan & Cromwell, 922 F.2d 60, 72 (2d Cir. 1990) (upholding the district court's decision to deny leave to amend where the plaintiff waited more than 17 months after bringing suit to request leave to amend the pleading, and plaintiff's reason for the delay was ignorance of the law). However, "[m]ere delay . . . absent a showing of bad faith or undue prejudice, does not provide a basis for [a] district court to deny the right to amend." State Teachers Ret. Bd. v. Fluor Corp., 654 F.2d 843, 856 (2d Cir. 1981) (citation omitted). Bad faith exists when a party attempts to amend its pleading for an improper purpose. See Austin v. Ford Models, Inc., 149 F.3d 148, 155 (2d Cir. 1998) (affirming the district court's denial of leave to amend a complaint where plaintiff sought to "erase . . . admissions [made] in [the previous] complaint") (abrogated on other grounds by Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 122 S. Ct. 992 (2002). Prejudice may exist, inter alia, when the amendment would: "(i) require the opponent to expend significant additional resources to conduct discovery and prepare for trial; [or](ii) significantly delay the resolution of the dispute . . . ." Monahan v. New York City Dep't of Corrections, 214 F.3d 275, 284 (2d Cir. 2000) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). In addition, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has identified prejudice to the opposing party "resulting from a proposed amendment as among the most important reasons to deny leave to amend." AEP Energy Services Gas Holding Co. v. Bank of America, N.A., 626 F.3d 699, 725 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). As the defendants did not oppose the instant motion, the Court does not have any information before it establishing that granting Azkour's request to file the proposed amended complaint would cause the defendants undue prejudice or that the request to amend is an act of bad faith on Azkour's part.
Therefore, Azkour's delay in filing the instant motion is not decisive.
"[W]hen a claim is clearly frivolous or legally insufficient on its face," leave to amend a complaint should be denied. Papadopoulos v. United States, No. 08 Civ. 11256, 2010 WL 3155037 at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 9, 2010). Futility of a proposed amendment is determined by using the same standard that governs Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss. See Nettis v. Levitt, 241 F.3d 186, 194 n.4 (2d Cir. 2001) (citation omitted) (overruled on other grounds). Thus, leave to amend may be denied, based on futility, if the proposed new claim would not withstand a Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. When considering a motion to dismiss, all facts alleged in the complaint are assumed to be true and all reasonable inferences are drawn in the plaintiff's favor. See Interpharm, Inc v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat'l Ass'n, 655 F.3d 136, 141 (2d Cir. 2011). To survive a motion to dismiss, a party must allege "enough facts to state a claim [for] relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atlantic Corp v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S. Ct. 1955, 1974 (2007); see Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S. Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009)( finding "[t]he plausibility standard" implies more than "sheer possibility," but less than probability). "A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id.
Azkour's proposed fourth-amended complaint asserts claims pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 1962(b), (c), and (d). Section 1962(b) makes it unlawful "for any person through a pattern of racketeering activity or through collection of an unlawful debt to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly, any interest in or control of any enterprise which is engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce." 18 U.S.C. § 1962(b). Section 1962(c) makes it unlawful "for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity."
18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). Section 1962(d) prohibits a conspiracy to violate subparagraphs (a), (b), or (c) of section 1962. See 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d). To establish such a conspiracy, "a plaintiff must prove the existence of an agreement to violate RICO's substantive provisions." Cofacredit, S.A. v. Windsor Plumbing Supply Co., Inc., 187 F.3d 229, 244 (2d Cir. 1999) (citation omitted). To state a claim for damages under RICO, a plaintiff must allege a violation of "the substantive RICO statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1962." Moss v. Morgan Stanley Inc., 719 F.2d 5, 17 (2d Cir. 1983). To satisfy that obligation, a plaintiff must allege that: "(1) the defendant (2) through the commission of two or more acts (3) constituting a 'pattern' (4) of 'racketeering activity' (5) directly or indirectly invests in, or maintains an interest in, or participates in (6) an 'enterprise' (7) the activities of which affect interstate or foreign commerce." Id. "Racketeering activity" is, inter alia, "any act which is indictable under any of the following provisions of Title 18, United States Code . . . section 1341 (relating to mail fraud), [and] section 1343 (relating to wire fraud) . . . ." 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1). Section 1341 provides, in pertinent part, that "[w]hoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, . . . places in any post office or authorized depository for mail matter, [for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice,] any matter or thing whatever to be sent or delivered by the Postal Service . . . [or] by any private or commercial interstate carrier" commits mail fraud. 18 U.S.C. § 1341. Section 1343 explains that, "[w]hoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate . . . commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, " commits wire fraud. 18 U.S.C. § 1343.
Under RICO, a "pattern of racketeering activity" requires that at least two predicate offenses be committed within ten years of each other. 18 U.S.C. § 1961(5). To satisfy this standard, a plaintiff "must allege either an open-ended pattern of racketeering activity (i.e., past criminal conduct coupled with a threat of future criminal conduct) or a closed-ended pattern of racketeering activity (i.e., past criminal conduct extending over a substantial period of time)." First Capital Asset Mgmt. v. Satinwood, Inc., 385 F.3d 159, 180 (2d Cir. 2004) (citation omitted). "[T]he duration of a pattern of racketeering activity is measured by the RICO predicate acts the defendants commit." Cofacredit, 187 F.3d at 243 (citation omitted).
The predicate acts that Azkour alleges to support his RICO claim involve fraud. Fraud claims are subject to a heightened pleading standard, under which a plaintiff must "state with particularity the circumstances constituting fraud." Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). Accordingly, to satisfy Rule 9(b), "the complaint must: (1) specify the statements that the plaintiff contends were fraudulent, (2) identify the speaker, (3) state where and when the statements were made, and (4) explain why the statements were fraudulent." Lerner v. Fleet Bank, N.A., 459 F.3d 273, 290 (2d Cir. 2006) (citation omitted).
A. Wire Fraud
The elements of a substantive wire fraud claim are (1) a scheme to defraud; and (2) communication by wire in "interstate or foreign commerce" to further that scheme. Cofacredit, 187 F.3d at 243. To state such a claim, the plaintiff's "allegations . . . should state the contents of the communications, who was involved, where and when they took place, and explain why they were fraudulent." Mills v. Polar Molecular Corp., 12 F.3d 1170, 1176 (2d Cir. 1993). "Purely intrastate communication [is] beyond the statute['s] reach" and cannot serve as a predicate offense for a RICO violation. Cofacredit, 187 F.3d at 243 (citations omitted).
Azkour alleges that the defendants engaged "in a pattern of organized racketeering . . . in interstate commerce" and "knowingly, intelligently, and willfully transmitt[ed] or [caused] to be transmitted by means of mail and wire communication in interstate commerce fraudulent and inaccurate customer bills, employee labor reports, and employee earning statements . . . ." Azkour does not state where and when the communications took place. In addition, although Azkour concludes that the communications occurred in "interstate commerce," he does not provide factual allegations to support that conclusion. See McCoy v. Goldberg, 748 F. Supp. 146, 154 (S.D.N.Y. 1990) ("[w]here all parties are New York residents, all telephone calls are presumed to be intrastate and, absent any indication otherwise, the predicate act of wire fraud is not stated."). Accordingly, Azkour may not rely on his allegation of wire fraud as a predicate act to support his contention that a "pattern of racketeering activity" -which is a necessary element of a RICO claim- existed.
B. Mail Fraud
A complaint alleging mail fraud must show (1) the existence of a scheme to defraud; (2) the defendants' knowing and intentional participation in the scheme; and (3) the use of the mails in furtherance of the scheme. See Cofacredit, S.A., 187 F.3d at 243. "While there is no requirement that the defendant personally mail a letter, the plaintiff must show '1) that the defendant 'caused' the mailing . . . and 2) that the mailing was for the purpose of executing the scheme or . . . 'incidental to an essential part of the scheme.'" McLaughlin v. Anderson, 962 F.2d 187, 191 (2d Cir. 1992) (citation omitted).
Allegations of mail fraud must be made with the particularity required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 9(b)[;] the complaint must adequately specify the statements it claims were false or misleading, give particulars as to the respect in which plaintiffs contend the statements were fraudulent, state when and where the statements were made, and identify those responsible for the statements.
Id. (citations omitted).
Azkour contends that the "defendants have been defrauding the patrons of Buddha Bar and Ajna Bar by falsely representing to them that all gratuities and service charges paid by them using credit cards and other electronic devices would and/or will compensate the wait staff's suffered labor and services." In furtherance of this alleged scheme, Azkour maintains that the defendants engaged "in a pattern of organized racketeering . . . by using the mail" and "transmitted by means of mail and wire communication in interstate commerce[,] fraudulent and inaccurate customer bills, employee labor reports, and employee earning statements . . . . " However, Azkour does not allege what purpose the "customer bills, employee labor reports, and employee earning statements" played in the alleged fraudulent scheme, or to what extent they assisted the defendants in perpetrating mail fraud. In addition, Azkour has not indicated "when and where the statements[: inaccurate customer bills and employee labor reports and earning statements] were made" and mailed. McLaughlin, 962 F.2d at 191. In the absence of this information, Azkour has failed to "state with particularity the circumstances constituting [mail] fraud." Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). Azkour's proposed fourth-amended complaint also lacks factual allegations "explain[ing] [adequately] why the statements [that were mailed] were fraudulent"; without this information, he has not met his burden of pleading all the elements of mail fraud, and has not complied with Rule 9(b)'s heightened pleading standard. Lerner, 459 F.3d at 290; see also McLaughlin, 962 F.2d at 191. Therefore, Azkour may not rely on his allegation of mail fraud as a predicate RICO offense to support his claim that the defendants engaged in a "pattern of racketeering activity."
SECTION 1962(c) CLAIM
It is unlawful for a person employed by or associated with an enterprise engaged in or whose activities affect interstate commerce to conduct or participate in the enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity. See 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). Any individual or entity having the capacity to hold legal or beneficial interest in property, is a person under RICO. See 18 U.S.C. § 1961(3). An enterprise includes a "corporation . . . or other legal entity, or any . . . group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity." 18 U.S.C. § 1961(4). Azkour contends that, [b]y unlawfully and knowingly accepting employment and associating themselves with an enterprise engaging in, or the activities of which affect, interstate commerce, by conducting and participating, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity, defendants Maucort, Comperiati, and Taylor have been violating 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c).
Azkour asserts that Haouzi, Maucort and Comperiati are "executive officers, agents, and/or employees of Little Rest Twelve, Inc.," and that Taylor was employed to provide legal counsel for LRT and other defendants in another pending action.
Under § 1962(c), the "RICO person" who conducts the affairs of the "RICO enterprise" must be distinct from the enterprise. See Riverwoods Chappaqua Corp. v. Marine Midland Bank, N.A., 30 F.3d 339, 344 (2d Cir. 1994). This distinctiveness requirement may not be circumvented "by alleging a RICO enterprise that consists merely of a corporate defendant associated with its own employees or agents carrying on the regular affairs of the defendant."
Id. at 344. The allegations Azkour makes in the proposed fourth-amended complaint, to support his § 1962(c) claim do not satisfy the distinctiveness element that must be shown to exist to state a plausible claim under § 1962(c), as the RICO enterprise alleged consists merely of LRT and its own employees and agents. Thus, allowing Azkour to amend his pleading to assert a claim under § 1962(c) is not reasonable and appropriate.
As Azkour has failed to provide, with particularity, sufficient factual information to support his allegations of mail and wire fraud, he has not established that two predicate RICO offenses were committed to support his allegation that the defendants engaged in a "pattern of racketeering activity," in violation of RICO.*fn2 Leave to amend may be denied based on futility, if

Rum Punch for One
Vickie Parks
This cocktail is from Barbados. I gave this a try, and it's quite good. The word punch comes from the Indian word "paunch", which means five, referring to the five elements of sour, sweet, strong, weak and spice that are required for a beverage to properly be classified as 'punch'. And this cocktail follows the standard of including one measure of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, and four of weak, and sprinkle of spice.
It's really good, I hope you give it a try.

Comments about Isotherm Cruise Elegance Refrigerator, 4.6 Cubic Feet:
So far ok, but I haven't installed yet, but here are a few things to note. First off the bottom door hinge came broken, so I welded a new bolt in place of the pin that was pressed in (that became separated). I later purchased the smart control unit, just installed that tonight, and I was thinking, for over a grand for a fridge that do-hickey should come with it. The ARB in my landcruiser has that built in from the factory. I'm putting it in a campervan, and haven't built a cabinet for it yet, but one note is that the shelves inside bang around a bit on bumpy roads, and I havent put the glass shelves in because they just sit on top of the plastic tray at the bottom, unsecured. So I need to do a little work on those sorts of things, maybe this is not the best fridge for an overland rig.......

Some Florida legislators are hoping to loosen the class-size requirements being phased in, saying the guidelines are too strict and expensive. The limits, which go into full effect in the 2010-11 school year, restrict classes for the youngest children to 18 students and 25 students for high school.
