Description
MANION, Circuit Judge. Infotronx, Inc. could not (or would not) pay Uni*Quality, Inc., a company it had hired to perform services for it, despite promises to pay for those services. Characterizing the promises as false representations and part of scheme to defraud it of the value of its services, Uni*Quality sued Infotronx, Charles Baker, Infotronx's president, and Wade Baker, Infotronx's vice-president, in federal court. Uni*Quality's suit alleged that Infotronx violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-68 (RICO); mail and wire fraud, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1343, were the alleged predicate acts. The complaint also alleged supplemental state law fraud and breach of contract claims. The district court dismissed Uni*Quality's RICO claim and relinquished jurisdiction over the state law claims pursuant to United Mineworkers of America v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 86 S. Ct. 1130, 16 L. Ed. 2d 218 (1966). The court subsequently denied Uni*Quality's motion under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 to amend its judgment and denied Uni*Quality's request for leave to amend its complaint. Uni*Quality appeals, and we affirm.
