United States v. Lee Stoller Enterprises, Inc., Lee Stoller, John M. Cooper, and John Maeras , 652 F.2d 1313 ( 1981 )

SWYGERT, Circuit Judge,

dissenting.

Although I originally voted to reverse these convictions on the ground that the RICO statute could not be applied to public entities,¹ because of the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Turkette, - U.S. -, 101 S.Ct. 2524, 69 L.Ed.2d 246 (1981), I am compelled to vote with the majority on the RICO issue. I join, however, in the dissents filed by Chief Judge Fairchild and Judge Cudahy on the issues of joinder and severance.
