    "Nor do criminal statutes generally provide a private cause of action or a basis for civil liability." Shaw v. Louie, 2013 WL 6624153, at *3 (D. Haw. Dec. 17, 2013). See, e.g., Aldabe v. Aldabe, 616 F.2d 1089, 1092 (9th Cir. 1980) (stating, for example, that 18 U.S.C. ยงยง 241 & 242 provide no private right of action and cannot form the basis for a civil suit); United States v. Oguaju, 76 F. App'x 579, 581 (6th Cir. 2003) (holding that the violation of a federal criminal statute does not provide for a private cause of action).
