Frank Robbins's Wyoming guest ranch is made up of separated land parcels that abut privately owned land, as well as parcels owned by Wyoming and the federal government. The owner before Robbins had granted the government an easement for a road in exchange for a right-of-way on the federal land parcel. Robbins took ownership of the land without the easement, and he did not regrant the easement upon subsequent governmental request.
Robbins claims that after negotiations broke down, employees from the Bureau of Land Management began a campaign of harassment and intimidation to force him to regrant the lost easement. Robbins filed suit against the government and its employees for, among other things, violation of RICO.
If you were Robbins's attorney, what would you have to prove to succeed on the RICO claim? How likely are you to succeed given the facts in this case?
