Description
WELLFORD, Senior Circuit Judge. John Vild, the plaintiff, appeals from the district court's denial of his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 (e) motion to alter or amend an earlier judgment dismissing his RICO*fn1 complaint and Fed. R. Civ. P. 15 (a) motion to amend his RICO complaint. The defendants, various persons involved in a series of real estate enterprises, cross-appeal from the district court's denial of their Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 motion for sanctions against the plaintiff. Put simply, Vild tries to convince us that he has properly stated a RICO claim in his complaint or proposed amended complaint, while the defendants maintain that he failed to state a claim, and that his failure should bring about sanctions. We find that the district court did not err when it denied the plaintiff's motions under Rules 15(a) and 59(e), and therefore, we AFFIRM that portion of the decision. Although we do not rule on the merits of the sanctions issue, we find it appropriate to REMAND this issue for clarification as to the basis for the district court's denial of sanctions.
