How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a new statute eliminating a predicate for civil RICO claims did not prescribe any temporal reach
• concluding that the Private Securities Litigation 16 Reform Act “has retroactive effect because prior to” its enactment “a plaintiff had a 17 [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] claim based on a defendants’ 18 alleged securities fraud, while afterwards a plaintiff does not”
• finding statutory amendment had retroactive effect where it “deprive[d] plaintiffs of the right to bring securities fraud based RICO claims”
• identifying “the 2 definitive acts for purposes of” its retroactivity analysis as “the dates of the defendants’ 3 conduct,” and not the plaintiff’s act of initiating litigation
