1Opinion of the Court
LUCERO, Circuit Judge.
This appeal arises from the district court’s 12(b)(6) dismissal of a civil action pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, brought by plaintiffs Wilma Brannon and Charlene Thomas against Boatmen’s Banc-shares, Inc. (“Bancshares”), a bank holding company, and its subsidiary, Boatmen’s First National Bank of Oklahoma (“Boatmen’s”). We are asked to address whether a parent-subsidiary corporate relationship standing alone is enough to invoke RICO liability. Holding that it is not, we affirm.
