MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
WEINSTEIN, Senior District Judge.
Plaintiffs move to vacate a judgment dismissing this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction' — i.e., competency of the court. See Falise v. American Tobacco Co., 241 B.R. 48 (E.D.N.Y.1999). In the alternative, they seek leave to reinstate and amend their original complaint to assert a civil RICO claim against defendants, see 18 U.S.C. § 1964(c), thus providing federal subject matter jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Both the motion to vacate the judgment of dismissal and the motion to amend are denied.
