Description
Appellants/Cross-Appellees Robert Smith and Reynaud Jones brought copyright infringement and RICO actions against appellees/cross-appellants, including Michael Jackson, Rod Temperton, and Lionel Richie. Appellants argue that (1) the district court erred in dismissing appellants' RICO claims pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), (2) the court erred in granting partial summary judgment in appellees' favor, and (3) the court's jury instructions improperly permitted the jury to find for appellees without considering appellees' access to appellants' copyrighted works. Appellees cross-appealed the court's decision to deny attorney's fees. We affirm.
