Opinion
Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Beverly Ann Hollis-Arrington appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing, for failure to state a claim, her action alleging that Cendant Mortgage Corporation and the Fannie Mae Corporation violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1962 (c) and (d), and federal lending laws by conspiring to issue mortgage loans to unqualified borrowers so that Cendant could acquire the properties by foreclosure. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Williamson v. Gen. Dynamics Corp., 208 F.3d 1144, 1149 (9th Cir.2000), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Hollis-Arrington’s RICO claims because the conclusory allegations in her second amended complaint did not set forth the requisite pattern of racketeering activity involving more than one transaction. See Howard v. America Online, Inc., 208 F.3d 741, 746 (9th Cir.2000).
The district court properly dismissed with prejudice Hollis-Arrington’s claim pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1635 , because she failed, as a matter of law, to present a legal basis for this claim. See Henderson v. City of Simi Valley, 305 F.3d…
