Plaintiff, who is currently a defendant in a foreclosure action brought by PHH Mortgage Corporation in state court, filed this civil action alleging that PHH engaged in violations of RICO. The Report and Recommendation recommends that the action be dismissed, as Plaintiff has failed to state a RICO claim. Plaintiff’s objections allege in a conclusory fashion that PHH engaged in money laundering and extortion, but do not include any sufficiently-detailed factual allegations to support those claims. 1 Dockets.Justia.com determine that such Report and Recommendation should be and is hereby ADOPTED in its entirety.
