1Opinion of the Court
COOK, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiff companies allege that the defendants and other non-parties to the suit engaged in a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) Act enterprise that “looted” the plaintiffs’ assets and value. The district court disagreed, dismissing several plaintiffs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and then dismissing the complaint in its entirety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Plaintiffs appeal both decisions. We AFFIRM.
