HANSEN, Circuit Judge.
Richard Bowman (“Bowman”) filed a suit against Western Auto Supply Company and John Leach (collectively “Western Auto”) pursuant to the civil action provision of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), alleging that he was discharged from his employment for speaking out against Western Auto’s alleged RICO violations. Western Auto moved to dismiss on the grounds that Bowman lacked standing to bring a civil RICO suit. The district court denied Western Auto’s motion and certified the issue for appeal. We now reverse.
