The regulatory body made this known in its "2016 Q1 Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Reports," made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, in Lagos.
It said there was compliance monitoring regarding the engagement of unlicensed service providers who are providing internet/data access in Nigeria.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Two years ago, I eagerly anticipated the release of the remake of one
of my favourite films of all time, "Clash of the Titans." What I was
given was a mess of a film in bad post-production 3D which needlessly
messed with the original story of Perseus and his defeat of the
Kraken...and turned my beloved Pegasus black.
When a follow-up was announced, being a huge fan of all Mythology, even if it is tweaked for Hollywood's sake, I felt they could only improve on a second attempt after the epic failure of the first go-around.
I was wrong.
"Wrath of the Titans" picks up a decade later with Perseus raising his only son alone after dismissing Zeus' offer of riches and power after his heroic defeat of the Kraken and the unexplained death of his wife (who I would have thought would have been Io but should really be Andromeda but remained unaddressed). As mortals lose their faith in the gods, the gods in turn lose more and more of their power and, consequently, the walls which imprison the Titans in Tartarus are weakening and the end of days is imminent.
Zeus turns to his son to warn him of the threat and ask his help, but Persues declines.
That is until he learns from Poseidon that Zeus' other son, Ares, turned against him and led him into a trap in Tartarus and Zeus is imprisoned by Hades , transferring all Zeus' power to Kronos, the leader of the Titans and Zeus' father, in exchange for immortality.
And thus, Perseus learns that in order to save humanity, he must rescue his father and defeat Kronos and teams with Poseidon's demi-god son Agenor and Queen Andromeda who, as I mentioned, by all accounts and purposes, should already be his wife.
The story itself has much potential, but sadly, the execution just falls flat. With far too many convenient twists and escapes, even by Mythology's standards, I found the events extremely difficult to swallow, the narrative being even too ridiculous for the likes of me. The whole film just sort of stumbles along like an adventure in special effects, with the actual storytelling as somewhat of a secondary element. Something which is becoming far too common these days.
Even though it has just been a couple of years since Sam Worthington was thrust into the spotlight in "Avatar" and the last Titan film, he looks like he has aged two decades, having lost all of the sexy, hard-bodied spunk that is befitting a demi-god. He was a relatively unconvincing Perseus the first time around, and the sequel just confirms the notion.
Everyone else's performance, including the return of Liam Neeson as Zeus, Danny Huston as Poseidon and Ralph Fiennes as Hades, are just fine, but acceptable performances in a mediocre film hardly lessen the disappointment.
After having been so mortified by the disrespect "Clash of the Titans" showed the original production, one wouldn't think it could get worse. But at least that film aroused some sort of emotional reaction in me. The sequel didn't even manage to do that. It simply disappointed. No doubt I may be first in line for the third installment, already currently in pre-production, as hope always prevails...but that may be tentative while what will most assuredly be mediocre box office could throw a spanner in the works.
But hey, at least the 3D was better.

I have never in my life seen a sequel that destroyed itself before it even opened in theaters. That's the sign of one of the worst film sequels ever made to a film that was terrible to begin with. First of all, it is said that in the remake, the titans were killed by the Kraken. As stupid as that was to begin with, why are the titans in this film then? Oh right, because the writers can't write. Clearly no one in this film knew what continuity was. Why is it called wrath of the titans, when there are no titans in it, only one? Wow, you even got your title wrong, Wrath of the one Titan, and the others we couldn't afford. How bad is your film when you can't even get the title right. That thing called the Chimaera is not the chimaera, you know how I know? I studied something called, oh what was it....Oh that's right, Greek mythology. I have no clue why Andromeda is in this at all, she didn't do anything of any significance whatsoever in the first film. Why is she here? Why is she played by an even worse actress? Isn't it sad when the only true film to Greek mythology is Disney's Hercules? Granted some flaws, but nonetheless. Why does Perseus go to Andromeda at the end, they never had a previous relationship? I have never seen a film fail so miserably, never....Why is it now I am witnessing the worst, the dumbest films in the history of cinema? Apparently gods can die in this series, really? Then why are they IMMORTAL....I think someone needs to look that up in the dictionary. And why is it that gods can't do anything with their powers? In the remake, Hades said, "I must regain my powers." When did you lose them, you idiot? Why doesn't zues just strike down everybody? I don;t know why the gods keep dying when they're supposed to be immortal? How bad is your film if you destroy your own mythos? Last, but certainly not least, Sam Worthington is one of the worst actors today...anyone can see it. Stop acting, Sam....it does you no good.

Not a good movie. Here's what happens:
Zeus asks Perseus for help yet again and Perseus says something along the lines of "Noooo, I'll never leave my son". So five minutes later after a random demon attacks his village, what does he do? Yeah, you guessed it. After he leaves his son, he rides his trusty steed, Pegasus (who appears out of nowhere, for no reason) to a military camp. Meanwhile, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are meeting in the underworld, along with Zeus's son, Ares. Surprise, surprise, evil Hades betrays his brothers and teams up with Ares, who is jealous of Perseus for having his father's admiration. Zeus is captured and his powers are sapped, to allow his father Cronos to escape imprisonment in Tartarus.
Anyway Poseidon escapes and dies shortly after giving Perseus his trident and his next epic quest: to save Zeus.
An irrelevant quest follows, with the introduction of some pretty undeveloped and pointless characters. They head out on a boat, with the son of Poseidon to find the person who forged the Gods weapons, and also Tartarus. Pegasus is apparently left with the other horses in the military camp, his only purpose: to have Perseus fly to the camp instead of walking, because walking a long distance is not interesting.
The crew reach an island and after walking a pretty long distance through a forest, run in to a Cyclops. Confusion ensues as he seems to be doing two things at once... turns out there's two of them. Perseus does what he does best: survives when he would clearly die, and they all become the best of friends.
The Cyclopes lead them to Bill Nighy, he tells them all about the prison Tartarus. It's so intricate and complex to stop Cronos escaping! Remember that at the end when he gets out no problem. The squad make there way to the prison and are attacked and outmatched by Ares; Bill Nighy and Sam Worthington couldn't care less.
They travel through the labyrinth, entrance to Tartarus, we've been told it messes with your mind. This is shown through the friends being angry at each other like schoolchildren for a short while. Perseus is separated from the group and encounters the most pathetic Minotaur, which of course throws him around for a while instead of killing him. It charges and gets it's horns stuck in the wall. Instead of killing the Minotaur while stuck, he breaks off its horns... Our hero defeats the monster of course and is somehow reunited with his friends, even though he fell pretty far away from them and it's a huge labyrinth.
Zeus talks his brother Hades in to being good, with two sentences, even though he's pretty evil. The gang turn up for the rescue.
The only way to defeat Cronos, it seems, is to join Zeus' lightning bolt, Hades' pitchfork and Poseiden's trident (all powerful, which would have came in handy in the first film) in to some super weapon. Ares should probably be aware of this, since it involves his close family, but decides to throw the pitchfork at Zeus, now Percy has the trident and pitchfork. He might have thought to throw it in to the surrounding lava, and they could never beat Cronos, but oh well.
Now something happened which completely broke the movie: dying Zeus is taken to the military camp and left alone. If only Zeus' power relied on prayer and there was thousands of soldiers around, Zeus would be pretty darn powerful. Nope. Nobody thought of this. Not even Zeus. Hades shows up though and gives most of his power to revive Zeus. Didn't the first film show us that Hades gets his power from peoples fear? Hades should be pretty powerful if everyone knew Cronos was coming to get them. Nope. Either everyone is pretty fearless or Hades is on a diet.
Anyway, while this is happening, random monsters (Lord knows where they came from) attack the soldiers, who die in the hundreds. They could have just said a few prayers for Zeus and they'd be fine, he dispatches the monsters easily after being revived, with a few prayers the soldiers might as well have gone for a lay down.
Perseus rides Pegasus to meet Ares for a fight. Even though he has Perseus' son hostage, he doesn't even make him drop his weapons, just starts fighting. Just the kind of fight you would expect, Perceus is thrown around instead of just killed, and of course ends up winning because of the bad guys overconfidence. Ares of course brought the final piece of the super weapon puzzle for Percy to use. He could have left it literally anywhere else and the weapon couldn't be finished.
Zeus and his new BFF, Hades team up to kill the demons, apparently they're all killed within two minutes. Cronos emerges. Apparently the labyrinth was no use for restraining him, only there because somebody wanted a Minotaur in the movie. So Cronos kills people, in as boring a fashion as any massive volcano man. We're supposed to be impressed. Perseus flies in on Pegasus with the finished weapon. flying through fire and lava but not being harmed, not even acquiring black ash on the face like you would expect. he flies in Cronos' mouth for some reason and drops the weapon. Before it explodes to kill Cronos, he seems to blow Zeus against a rock which is apparently fatal.
Percy rides back and Zeus stands up, he looks fine but for some reason he's going to die, Percy could say a prayer and he wouldn't, but whatever. Zeus dies, Worthington shows no emotion.
Movie ends with an awkward father-son chat. Looks to be setting up a sequel about the kid. I can hardly wait.
The one lesson this film teaches, is that you should pray to Zeus and you wont have to get yourself killed.

Perseus is back in this sequel to the 2010 poorly received remake of
the 1984 classic, "Clash of the Titans". A decade has passed since his
heroic defeat of the Kraken and things have changed a bit for Perseus
and friends. However, just when he was about to have a good life, evil
calls him back again to fight once more in an attempt alongside the
gods to defeat the evil Titan lord, Kronos, from devouring the gods and
obliterating all of mankind.
"Wrath of the Titans" takes place a decade after the conclusion of the 2010 remake, so there's a slight change in life. Perseus is now a father and due to the death of his wife Io, a lone parent of 10-year-old-soon-to-be-hero Helius. After refusing the offer to given a rank between the gods of Olympus, he lives a quiet life as a fisherman with his son. Besides Perseus, Princess Andromeda is now Queen Andromeda and a fighter.
Meanwhile, the gods are facing a crisis. Hades (god of the underworld) and Ares (god of war) have teamed up with Kronos, leader of the Titans. They had made a deal with him and to release him from Tartarus. To power up Kronos, they captured Zeus and drained him of his energy to feed Kronos, thus awakening him. If they successfully awaken Kronos, Kronos would then proceed to kill Zeus and his friends, and obliterate all of mankind in an attempt to rule the world once more.
Just like its predecessor, this movie offers a lot of intense action sequences. This is one improvement from its predecessor, having more intense fighting scenes. There are many fights here, conducted between Perseus and many different creatures from the Greek myths. There's a fight between Perseus and the Minotaur in the labyrinth, a battle with a gigantic Cyclops, and many more battles with two-headed winged creatures, two-body-in-one monsters, and of course, the lava-fueled gigantic debris-coated Kronos for the climax. And add in the outstanding visual effects to enhance the action sequences. Anyone who's looking forward to violence will be pleased with this perfect blend of exciting action scenes and sophisticated visual effects.
Talking about effects, let's talk about the 3D. The first film, being heavily marketed as a must- see 3D event, had dreadful 3D effects. Added as an afterthought, the 3D is just painful and does nothing to the film except charge the viewer some extra bucks. I was skeptical of watching it in 3D for this movie, but it seems the producers and crew have spent more time and paid more attention to the 3D effects of the film. The 3D here is a vast, massive improvement from the dreadful 3D effects of the first film. Occasionally, some of the items shown pop out of the screen. If you hated the 3D of the first film, reconsider before deciding to watch this film whether in 3D or not because the 3D here is just excellent.
When it gets to story, this movie lacks at it. It has a simple plot that the movie rarely hangs on to. But that's not a problem, the movie does not aim to be a film with an intriguing, complex, sophisticated, mind-boggling plot, it aims to be a spectacular, eclectic mix of special effects and action scenes. The dialog is fairly simple, the acting was fair, and the plot was just not complicated.
Nevertheless, "Wrath of the Titans" is a considerable improvement from the horrible 2010 remake of the 1984 classic. It has plenty of action sequences accompanied with dazzling visual effects for teenage boys to enjoy, excellent 3D effects for enhanced excitement, and a little bit of focus on the storyline to get things going. If you're anyone of the people who want to have some fun watching countless violent scenes and dazzling visual effects, have this movie a go. But if you're anyone who's more interested in seeing a movie with an intriguing plot and some more focus on the storyline, give this film a miss.
Rating: 7/10
Final Verdict: "Wrath of the Titans" is a vast improvement from the poor remake of the 1984 fantasy that offers plenty of action sequences, dazzling visual effects, satisfying 3D effects, and a little bit of storyline to get things going.

Watching a Jonathan Liebesman film is like watching a screensaver for
fifty years whilst a five year old incorrectly recites the alphabet
dressed in diamonds, gold and covered in tuna. He's representative of a
new breed of cinematic ultra hack, third generation Steven Spielbergs
and James Camerons who, unlike their predecessors - who were typically
uninterested in everything but FX and action - are simply uninterested
in everything. In this regard, Liebesman's films have a special, all
encompassing ineptness, barely serviceable plot and dialogue existing
only to lead up to barely serviceable CGI and action scenes which only
exist to lead up to barely serviceable plot and dialogue.
What's staggering is the massive budgets, and the huge amounts of FX work, that typically goes into Liebesman's films. All this money, all this time, all this production work, and yet his films are staggeringly bland and artless. He's one of those artists who came of artistic age in that awkward gap pre-video game but post Spielberg/Lucas/Cameron idolatry. What he thinks is cool is immediately outdated to 5 year olds who multi-player maul monsters morning to midnight on flat-screens and laptops.
"Wrath of the Titans" is a sequel to "Clash of the Titans". It's a popcorn movie which pulls from Greek mythology. As this mythology relied on oration, imagination, the inconceivable and the abstract, it is impossible for anyone other than a genius to translate it to cinema and not produce a goofy film.
Still, Liebesman's film has two mildly interesting shots: a top down view of three warriors being squashed by a wall, and one brief visual in which giant cyclops walk along a hilltop as humans scurry at their feet. That's about 2 seconds of art in a feature length film. Thankfully the film stars Rosamund Pike, who I suppose is also some kind of genetic work of art, with exotically high cheekbones and a nose like a peanut. Aussie actor Sam Worthington is our action hero; he does his usual shtick, his real life confusion as to how he ended up a mega-action star mimicking the befuddlement of all his characters.
The film is a sequel to "Clash of the Titans", a bad film which actually moved well, had some self-depreciation about it, thanks to European action director Louis Leterrier. Perhaps the best of this new wave of sword-and-sandals action-mythology films are "The Eagle", "Beowulf" and "Immortals", by Tartem Singh.
0/10 - Rewatch "Conan The Barbarian" instead. Worth no viewings.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Perseus (Sam Worthington) and his son Helius live as fishermen in a
small village. One night, Zeus (Liam Neeson) visits Perseus and tells
that the gods are weaker since the humans do not pray for them anymore.
He tells that the walls of Tartarus are falling down in the underworld
and all the demons will be released on Earth and Kronos will escape
from his imprisonment.
Zeus goes to the underworld with Poseidon (Danny Huston) to join forces with Ares (Édgar Ramírez) and Hades (Ralph Fiennes) but they are betrayed and Zeus is captured. Poseidon escapes deadly wounded and encounters Perseus in the Zeus' Temple. He gives his trident to Perseus and advises him to meet his son and also demigod Agenor (Toby Kebbell) in the kingdom of Andromeda (Rosamund Pike) and ask him to guide Perseus to find the fallen one. Together with Andromeda, they begin their saga to release Zeus and avoid that Ares and Hades unleash the ancient Titan Kronos.
"Wrath of the Titans" is a sequel of "Clash of Titans" that is better and better than the first film. The story is engaging and full of action, with a great cast and magnificent CGI. "Wrath of the Titans" is not a masterpiece but fans of the genre will certainly not be disappointed. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Fúria de Titãs 2" ("Wrath of Titans 2")
Just finished watching wrath of the titans, and have to say it was better than expected. I was expecting a somewhat average film after the disappointing remake of the original. All the characters played their roles very well especially Zeus and Hades. The version I saw was 3d, and the use of it was much better this time around scenes with falling rocks, Pegasus flying, and other scenes had a strong presence with the 3d. A couple weaknesses I saw in my opinion were the character representations of Hephestus and Hades toward the end. Hephestus was seemed to be way scrawnier, too good looking, not serious enough, and too weak for a god. He was a solid character just wish they made him more represented to how he was in myth. Also without spoiling the character change of Hades toward the end was a little interesting, but felt it shouldn't have been done. The effects were in this movie were awesome especially for Cronus. It also has some great fight scenes that really get you blood pumping. All in all though it was a great action film, with some solid comedy relief, and just a great overall film especially for those looking for flashy effects 8/10

One!!! Yes one.I put it one because I can't put it below zero.once you reach a point where you say "enough", pulling a red line and no longer tolerate the slightest. the «Wrath of the Titans» do NOT qualify to cross the path you! There are "bad" movies that were betrayed by a lack of budget or technical resources, other than lack of talent in front and back from the camera, others so miserable that they became cult or simply must-see and shoot the other doomed simply because the outer error messages contained. Yes, there are many ways to "bent" and a movie, and most can be understood and respected. But in the case of «Wrath» there are no mitigating.The authors built a stupid, pointless, ridiculous, insulting, annoying, unsightly, historically ignorant, rambling, anencephaly, childish, slipshod, awful and deadly dull movie.There is absolutely nothing positive I can suggest (and I after a quiet my conscience).Perhaps the only thing I can credit to authors of this sad sequel is that they managed what seemed impossible until recently: To make it worse than The clash!!! 0/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Perseus is attempting to live a quieter life as a fisherman and parent
to his son, Helius.
Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.
The trio had overthrown their father long ago, leaving him to rot. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus.
Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda and Poseidon's son, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, and save mankind.....
Like he did last year, Liebbesmann or however you spell his name, starts the blockbuster year off with an almighty whimper. Battle: Los Angeles was awful, and this is just as bad.
The cast are mostly back, but some just look embarrassed, and the main character is played by someone who is devoid of any talent, but has starred in some of the biggest films in the last three years.
The man cannot carry a movie, and whenever he isn't on screen with Neeson, Fiennes or Kebbel, the film just falters and becomes boring.
I was hoping for a film that would just consist of walking, fighting monsters, walking, fighting monsters and so on, but nothing could prepare me for the awful script and the lack of plot.
People should know now that no , matter how good the effects are, or what seasoned British actors are in it (Nighy does an excellent Davy Jones again), it doesn't make up for the lack of interest the story or narrative has.
On the plus side, the 3D is better than the first.....
And you just know that wooden sword will be included in the finale.
A waste of time.
I thought this movie did it's job! It was a great sequel, that delivered what was expected. The sole point of a movie is to entertain, and Wrath of the Titans did just that. The final scene was just epic, although I wish it were a little longer. I honestly don't see why so many people are hating on it. It had everything an action film lover would want. The action scenes were ridiculously well made, and the computer graphics were one of the best I've scene in a while. The acting was great and so were the characters. For those who liked the first movie, you'll like the second one too. Very entertaining and I tip my hat of to the producers and directors. Good Job!

United States District Court, District of Columbia
May 23, 2003
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF,v.PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
This matter is now before the Court on Joint Defendants'*fn1 Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Advertising, Marketing, Promotion, and Warning Claims and the United States' Cross Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Affirmative Defenses. The Defendants*fn2 seek summary judgment as to the United States' advertising, marketing, promotion and warning claims on the basis that these claims are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "the Agency"). The United States seeks summary judgment as to all of Defendants' affirmative defenses premised upon the FTC's purportedly exclusive jurisdiction.
Upon consideration of the Motions, Oppositions and the entire record herein, and for the reasons stated below, the Joint Defendants' Motion is denied and the Government's Cross Motion is granted in part and denied in part.
A. Factual Allegations
Plaintiff, the United States of America ("the Government") has brought this suit against the Defendants pursuant to Sections 1962(c) and (d) of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq.*fn3 Defendants are manufacturers of cigarettes and other tobacco-related entities. The Government seeks injunctive relief and billions of dollars for what it alleges to be an unlawful conspiracy to deceive the American public.
The Government's Amended Complaint describes a four-decade long conspiracy, dating from at least 1953, to intentionally and willfully deceive and mislead the American public. According to the Government, the underlying strategy Defendants adopted was to deny that smoking caused disease and to consistently maintain that whether smoking caused disease was an "open question." Am. Compl. at ¶ 34. In furtherance of the strategy, Defendants allegedly issued deceptive press releases, published false and misleading articles, destroyed and concealed documents which indicated that there was in fact a correlation between smoking and disease, and aggressively targeted children as potential new smokers. Am. Compl. at ¶ 36.
The Government also alleges that over the course of the conspiracy, Defendants have made false and misleading statements concerning the addictiveness of nicotine. Defendants continually denied that nicotine is addictive, even in the face of what the Government calls overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Am. Compl. at ¶¶ 71-72. Defendants allegedly have taken actions to make cigarettes even more addictive by manipulating and increasing the potency of nicotine in their cigarettes. Am. Compl. at ¶ 77. Nevertheless, Defendants have repeatedly denied that they manipulated the level of nicotine in their products. Am. Compl. at ¶ 79.
The Government also alleges that Defendants have used deceptive marketing to exploit smokers' desire for less hazardous products and have "misled consumers by marketing products that consumers believe are less harmful, even though they are not." Am. Compl. at ¶ 83. For example, according to the Government, Defendants have marketed "light" or "low tar/low nicotine" cigarettes as being less hazardous to smokers even though there is no basis for believing they are safer than other cigarettes. Am. Compl. at ¶ 86.
Under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, summary judgment is appropriate if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). Material facts are those that "might affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). In considering a summary judgment motion, "the evidence of the non-movant is to be believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor." Id. at 255; see also Washington Post Co. v. United States Dep't of Health and Human Servs., 865 F.2d 320, 325 (D.C. Cir. 1989). In the pending Motions, we are concerned with issues of law, rather than factual disputes.
A. Overlapping Federal Statutes Must Each Be Given Effect Unless They
The Supreme Court recently reaffirmed this longstanding principle of statutory interpretation, stating:
[W]hen two statutes are capable of coexistence, it is the
duty of the courts, absent a clearly expressed
congressional intention to the contrary, to regard each
as effective.
In their Motion Defendants argue that they are entitled to summary judgment on the Government's advertising, marketing, promotion and warning claims because they fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the FTC. According to the Defendants, the FTC administers a regulatory regime that would be effectively repealed by the challenged RICO claims. Joint Defendants' Mem. at 22. This regime consists primarily of the Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTCA" or "FTC Act") and the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act ("FCLAA" or "Labeling Act"), 15 U.S.C. § 1331-40.
The Defendants misperceive the thrust of the Government's case. It is true that conduct relating to advertising, marketing, promotion and product warning labels can fall within the reach of a number of overlapping statutes, including the FTCA, and the Labeling Act, as well as RICO. However, in this case, the Government's Amended Complaint charges only RICO violations; it does not allege violation of any other statutes. Because the FTC has no authority to enforce RICO, the logical consequence of the Defendants' position would be that, at least in this instance, the RICO statute would be nullified. Under Borden and NextWave, this result must be rejected unless the overlapping statutes which authorize FTC jurisdiction over the alleged conduct inherently conflict with RICO.
Defendants argue that because the FTCA and the FCLAA together address tobacco advertising, marketing, promotion and warnings with more specificity than does RICO, permitting the Government to pursue its claims pursuant to RICO will undermine the FTC's ability to administer its own statutes. However, Defendants ignore the fact that RICO is a broad statute that often overlaps with more specifically targeted laws and regulations. Nevertheless, under Borden and NextWave, the relevant issue is not whether one of two overlapping statutes is more specific than the other, but whether the statutes actually conflict*fn4 with one another. So long as they do not, both must be given effect.
The Seventh Circuit rejected a similar argument that conduct charged under RICO was within the exclusive jurisdiction of a federal agency in United States v. Palumbo Brothers, Inc., 145 F.3d 850 (7th Cir. 1998). In Palumbo Brothers, the United States charged the defendants under RICO; the predicate acts of mail and wire fraud advanced a scheme to defraud employees and unions of wages and benefit payments. The defendants argued that the conduct complained of was covered by a more specific legal framework, namely the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). They argued that the NLRA preempted the RICO claim and that, therefore, the National Labor Relations Board had primary jurisdiction to resolve the alleged unfair labor practices.
The Seventh Circuit rejected the defendants' exclusive jurisdiction argument. Citing Borden, Palumbo Brothers stated that
[F]undamentally each federal statute has equal effect
under the law. . . . Congressional intent behind one
federal statute should not be thwarted by the application
of another federal statute if it is possible to give
effect to both laws.
Similarly here, the specificity of the FTC Act or the FCLAA is not by itself a reason to thwart the application of RICO. For the reasons explained below, the Defendants have not demonstrated any conflict between the Government's exercise of its authority under RICO and the FTC's authority under the FTCA or the FCLAA. Therefore, under Borden and NextWave, Defendants' Motion must be denied in order to give effect to all three of these overlapping, but not conflicting, statutes.
B. RICO Does Not Conflict with the FTCA or the FCLAA
The first statute which is part of the FTC's purportedly exclusive regulatory regime is the FTCA. The FTCA prohibits "[u]nfair methods of competition" and "unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce". 15 U.S.C. § 45(a) ("Section 5"). False or deceptive advertising falls within the proscription of Section 5. Giant Food, Inc. v. FTC, 322 F.2d 977, 981 (D.C. Cir. 1963). The FTC Act is enforced exclusively by the FTC; there is no private right of action under the statute. Holloway v. Bristol-Myers Corp., 485 F.2d 986, 989 (D.C. Cir. 1973).
Even though the FTC has exclusive jurisdiction under the FTCA, the statute has never been interpreted to give the agency exclusive jurisdiction over advertising or marketing conduct. Nor has the FTC's authority to administer the FTC Act been an obstacle to suits premised on overlapping state statutes or on common law. Id. at 999. State prohibitions of unfair or deceptive trade practices are not preempted unless they conflict with an express FTC rule. American Financial Services Assn v. FTC, 767 F.2d 957, 989-990 (D.C. Cir. 1987). Indeed, the Agency has long encouraged use of overlapping state deceptive practices statutes because problems in the marketplace exceed the Agency's enforcement capabilities. Kellogg Co. v. Mattox, 763 F. Supp. 1369, 1380 (N.D. Tex. 1991).
Similarly, since adoption of the FTC Act in 1914, the United States has brought numerous mail and wire fraud prosecutions*fn6 based upon false or deceptive advertising and marketing practices without any suggestion that they were precluded by virtue of the FTC having exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter of advertising.*fn7 More specifically, many RICO cases have been based upon claims of false or deceptive advertising and marketing despite the fact that these cases could have also fallen within the FTC's jurisdiction. See e.g., Sikes v. Teleline, Inc., 281 F.3d 1350 (11th Cir. 2002); Strain v. Nutri/System, 1990 WL 209325 (E.D.Pa. December 12, 1990). In sum, the history of co-existence between the FTC Act and other statutes, both state and federal, directed at fraudulent and deceptive advertising, marketing and promotion demonstrates that the statute is not in conflict with the Government's RICO claims in this case.*fn8
The other main statute comprising the regulatory regime relied upon by Defendants is the Labeling Act. This statute governs certain aspects of the advertising and labeling of cigarettes; its purposes are to adequately inform the public about the hazards of smoking and to protect the national economy from the burden of "diverse, nonuniform and confusing cigarette labeling and advertising regulations with respect to any relationship between smoking and health." 15 U.S.C. § 1331. The statute requires the warnings that appear on every package of cigarettes sold in the United States, 15 U.S.C. § 1333, and gives the FTC the responsibility to report to Congress annually concerning cigarette advertising and promotion. 15 U.S.C. § 1337(b).
The Labeling Act has an express preemption provision which the Supreme Court construed in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, 505 U.S. 504 (1992) (plurality opinion). In that case, the plaintiff brought the following categories of claims against defendant cigarette companies: 1) failure to warn 2) breach of express warranty 3) fraudulent misrepresentation and 4) conspiracy to misrepresent or conceal material facts. Id. at 508. The Supreme Court held that only the failure-to-warn claims were preempted, and then only to the extent that the plaintiff's theory required a showing that defendants "should have included additional, or more clearly stated, warnings." Id. at 524.*fn9 Failure-to-warn claims that were unrelated to advertising or promotion, such as claims relying on testing or research practices, were not preempted, and neither were the other three categories of claims. Id. at 525, 530.
The Supreme Court rejected preemption of these claims because the FCLAA by its terms preempts only those state law claims*fn10 that relate to the advertising or promotion of cigarettes and that are predicated on duties "based on smoking and health." 15 U.S.C. § 1334. The non-preempted claims of fraudulent misrepresentation and conspiracy were instead based on a "duty not to deceive" and a "duty not to conspire to commit fraud." 505 U.S. at 529-30. The breach of warranty claim was not even predicated on a duty imposed by law, but instead involved a duty that defendants had imposed upon themselves by making certain statements in their advertisements. Id.
Here, the claims that Defendants argue are in the exclusive jurisdiction of the FTC are virtually identical to the claims held not preempted in Cipollone. The Government's Amended Complaint, as described above, charges that the Defendants intentionally misled their consumers and the public about the hazards associated with their products, among other things. Just as in Cipollone, the Government's claims in this case are predicated on a duty not to deceive, a duty not to conspire to defraud and duties voluntarily undertaken by the Defendants in representations made in advertisements to consumers.
The Defendants argue that the Government's RICO claims will be disruptive to the FTC's administrative responsibilities, but fail to explain how that can be the case when the Supreme Court has already concluded in Cipollone that state law claims based on the same duties will not have that adverse effect. In sum, Cipollone involved the same "comprehensive" regulatory regime at issue here and necessarily rejected the Defendants' arguments that the FTC has exclusive authority over all tobacco advertising, marketing, promotion and warning claims. For the same reasons, those arguments must be rejected here.
Significantly, Defendants cite no case holding that RICO claims have been preempted by the FTC Act or the Labeling Act, considered either separately or together.*fn11 At least one court has rejected similar arguments made in precisely the same context. In Falise v. American Tobacco Company, 94 F. Supp.2d 316 (E.D.N.Y. 2000), the defendants' motion for summary judgment was denied because the RICO claims were based on allegations of false representations of material facts and concealment of material facts "making them virtually identical to the non-preempted claims in Cipollone." Id. at 357.
The impending conflict that Defendants foresee between the Government's RICO claims and the FTC's authority is wholly speculative. For example, Defendants claim that they will be "in the likely position of having to act at odds with FTC conclusions or mandates." Joint Defendants' Mem. at 33. They fear that cigarette companies will be forced to choose between disregarding RICO orders from courts or facing sanctions and fines from the Commission. This fear is unfounded given the fact that the Government is not seeking to enforce the FTC Act. Conflict between RICO orders and FTC actions hardly seems inevitable. In any event, the concern is premature, at best.
Defendants advance the related claim that "the Court is literally being asked to impose liability for the companies' adherence to FTC mandates" regarding the disclosure of tar and nicotine yields. Joint Defendants Mem. at 34. In fact, what the Government claims is that the Defendants knowingly misled consumers with advertisements that suggested, for example, that "light" cigarettes were less hazardous. The specific advertisements which the Government claims were intentionally misleading, and which are the subject of these Motions, were certainly not mandated by the FTC.
When federal statutes overlap, they must each be given effect in the absence of "inherent conflict." NextWave, 123 S.Ct. at 840. Therefore, even though the conduct alleged in the Government's advertising, marketing, promotion and warning claims, may happen to fall within the reach of statutes administered by the FTC, such overlap is not sufficient to make that agency's jurisdiction exclusive. For all the reasons discussed above, the Court concludes that there is no inherent conflict or positive repugnancy between RICO and the FTCA or the FCLAA and that the FTC is therefore not vested with exclusive jurisdiction over the Government's advertising, marketing, promotion and warning claims. Consequently the Defendant's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment must be denied.
The Government's Cross Motion seeks summary judgment as to those affirmative defenses premised upon the FTC's purportedly exclusive authority. For the same reasons just articulated, this motion will be granted in part. To the extent that some of the affirmative defenses the Government seek to have dismissed appear to encompass independent defenses, the motion is denied in part.
An Order will accompany this opinion.
This matter is now before the Court on Joint Defendants'*fn12 Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Advertising, Marketing, Promotion, and Warning Claims and the United States' Cross Motion for Partial Summary Judgement on Affirmative Defenses.*fn13 Upon consideration of the Motions, Opposition and the entire record herein, it is this 23rd day of May, 2003
ORDERED that the Joint Defendants' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Advertising, Marketing, Promotion and Warning Claims is denied; it is further

So do tell about your new guy! We need details girl...
Ohhhhhh Veronica!
lol, I read about your date too! Do tell more
Date??? Must be on FBook again ....:rolleyes:
Let me in please
??????? Waiting!
Hahaha! Sorry to keep you in suspense!
So I met this guy a couple months ago actually. He comes in to the bank every week to cash his checks. (Yes, he is employed, major bonus!) But we've both been so busy that we finally got to get together last weekend. I wasn't sure at 1st if I really liked him, but we ended up having so much in common. Last Sat he made me dinner at his place, so then this past Sat I made him dinner at mine. We ended up DTD, several times! And now it's like we can't get enough of each other! He took me to lunch during my lunch break yesterday and then today we spent the whole afternoon together (today was my day off) until I had to go get the kids from the sitter. We thought about going to do something, but got a little sidetracked and spent the afternoon in his bedroom.
I really, REALLY like him, and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way. He is divorced too and has 2 kids, a 6 yr old daughter and 9 yr old son. He says that before he meets any of my family he wants me to introduce me to his kids, but he's not ready to do that yet. I agree, if mine were older I would have waited to introduce them too. I'm kind of nervous about meeting them though! Anyways, it's still all so new, so who knows what will happen. But in the meantime I am having fun, and absolutely LOVING this new relationship feeling!
I'm so happy for you! Jeez, dtd 3 times (read on the oct board).....WOW is all I have to say
I would be nervous about meeting his kids too, especially since they're older. KUP!

How exciting Veronica!!! good for you!!!
I'd be totally nervous about the kids too but one step at a time right? ENJOY! You deserve it!@

I stalk everyone too. I'm too nosey
3 times?!?!?! :eek: Don't tell my husband, please. He thinks I am only capable of DTD about once every couple of weeks.
So happy for you! I would definitely be nervous about meeting his kids, and visa versa. I would definitely want to be sure its going to be serious before I would be comfortable with that.
Please keep us posted and don't make us stalk you. That's an unhealthy habit I don't want to develop.
You go girl!!!!!!! KUP on how things continue on! I don't blame ya for taking slow when it comes to his kids, that could be a hard age. How long has him and his wife been divorced/separated?
I agree w/ Sarah lol I am jealous the last time dh and I dtd more than once in a day we prolly only had 2 kids!! It sounds like you are having a ball and good for you, you deserve it! I would be nervous too about meeting the kids but I am sure they will love you.
Hello! Way to go That new relationship feeling is the best!
I am soo happy for you Veronica!! You definately deserve to be happy.
Sounds like some great dates!! Congrats to you lol!
@ Sarah... once a year?? You gotta get back on that train lady! I make DH DTD at least every other day... but then again I am a horny pregnant lady LMAO! Although in my own defense, we do it all the time anyway, which is how I have so many darn kids!!
Way to go Veronica! Have fun and good luck with everything.

Great quality basin with quick delivery
- After buying 2 cheaper basins from a well known auction website and both being damaged, I decided to come here, and pay the extra.
It arrived rapidly, very well packed (and thankfully undamaged). It is a brilliant white finish and although being slightly to small for my needs (the next size up was waaaay too big), fitted great.
I can recommend the product and the company.

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919), was an American author who was a specialist in children's books. He was particularly famous for his The Wonderful Wizard of Oz series, a sensational hit among children and continues to do so.
He was better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum.
His stories have formed the basis for such popular films as The Wizard of Oz (1939), produced by the famous Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Oz the Great and Powerful (2013).
Named "Lyman" after his uncle, Baum didn't like his first name much obviously and chose to be called by his middle name "Frank" instead.
Baum wrote about his purpose in introduction of his book: "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written solely to pleasure children today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heart-aches and nightmares are left out."
