S.G.E. Management, LLC v. Torres

Petition for certiorari denied on October 2, 2017

Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
16-1309 N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 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.
