The Respondents’ predicate acts and/or conduct committed were interrelated and formed a pattern of racketeering activity and were the proximate cause of Plaintiffs’/Petitioners’ injuries to property and income, which included their foreclosure, eviction of a Petitioner and her minor children and filing a 3rd lawsuit with more Fraud and Obstruction of Justice, and placed Lis Pendens on 3 additional Petitioners’ properties, including a Petitioners’ homestead - that are still present to date - in order to collect on this unlawfully-obtained debt. The questions presented and constitutional issues are as follows-

-
