MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from C v. Rady Children's Hosp., Case No.: 17-cv-0846-AJB-JLB (S.D. Cal. 2017):

2. The RICO conspiracy statute, in simple form, states: "It shall be unlawful for any person to conspire to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section." 18 U.S.C. 1962(d). Section 1985(2) concerns conspiracies interfering with access to federal or state courts. See Bretz v. Kelman, 773 F.2d 1026, 1028-29 (9th Cir. 1985). Section 1985(3) prohibits conspiracies "for the purpose of depriving, either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws[.]" 42 U.S.C. 1985(3).
