2013-02-23 39 0 ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The Court has conducted a de novo review of the RICO claim analysis and considered Allstate's objections. The Court finds those objections unavailing for the same reasons set forth in the R&R. Neither party has objected to the R&R's recommendation to dismiss Allstate's remaining state law claims, and the Court has found no clear error on the face of the record. Accordingly, the Court grants defendants' motion to dismiss the complain t in its entirety. Allstate's RICO claims are dismissed with prejudice. The Court, furthermore, declines to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims and dismisses them without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate all pending motions, enter judgment accordingly, and close the case. Ordered by Chief Judge Carol Bagley Amon on 2/21/2013.
