Opinion

No. 06-15025 Non-Argument Calendar.

March 15, 2007.

Malcolm R. Newman, Dothan, AL, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.

Jeffrey Monroe Grantham, John Thomas A. Malatesta, Maynard, Cooper Gale, P.C., Howard P. Walthall, Jr., Burr Forman LLP, Robert K. Spotswood, Michael Todd Sansbury, Spotswood, LLC, Birmingham, AL, C. Richard Langley, Langley Lee, LLC, Patrick S. Flynn, Flynn Peeler, LLC, Albany, GA, Cari Katrice Dawson, Alston Bird, LLP, Jennifer M. Techman, Roger C. Wilson, Evert Weathersby, LLC, Nowell Donald Berreth, Rebecca Brown Crawford, Alston Bird, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. D.C. Docket No. 05-00099-CV-WLS-1.

Before ANDERSON, BARKETT, and COX, Circuit Judges.


Plaintiffs Russell Whitaker, C.R. Gregory, and Robert Knighton appeal the district court's dismissal of their civil RICO claim against Defendants MGA, Inc., United Parcel Service, Select Media Services, LLC, Mile High Media, Inc., LFP, Inc., Digital Sin, Inc., and Fraserside Holdings, Ltd. We find no reversible error in the dismissal and therefore affirm.

Plaintiffs' complaint does not allege facts to support the conclusory allegations that Defendants combined and conspired to manufacture, transport, and distribute obscene materials. Thus, dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) was proper.

AFFIRMED.
