S.G.E. Management, LLC v. Torres
Certiorari Denied
Petition for certiorari denied on October 2, 2017.
Issue
(1) Whether a RICO fraud plaintiff must prove reliance in order to establish causation, as this Court held in Bridge v. Phoenix Bond & Indemnity, or whether reliance is no longer required; and (2) whether, to certify a RICO fraud class action, the plaintiff must show that reliance is a common issue because virtually all class members would have relied, or whether it is sufficient to show merely that it "follows logically" that some class members would have relied.
