ENTERPRISE OR UNION (18 U.S.C. 1962(c)) The defendant is charged in [Count _______ of] the indictment with having [conducted] [participated in the conduct of] the affairs of [specify enterprise or union] through a pattern of racketeering activity in violation of Section 1962(c) of Title 18 of the United States Code.

Comment When racketeering acts are charged as separate counts in the indictment, use this instruction in combination with Instructions 8.155 (RICORacketeering ActCharged as Separate Count in Indictment) and 8.157 (RICOPattern of Racketeering Activity). When the racketeering acts are not charged as separate counts in the indictment, use this instruction in combination with Instructions 8.156 (RICORacketeering ActNot Charged as Separate Count in the Indictment) and 8.157 (RICOPattern of Racketeering Activity). As defined in 18 U.S.C. 1961(4), an enterprise includes any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union; therefore, the name of the legal entity should be used. The enterprise cannot also be the RICO defendant when the charge is that the defendant violated 18 U.S.C. 1962(c). See United States v. Shryock, 342 F.3d 948, 985-86 (9th Cir.2003) (defining conducts or participates in the affairs of the enterprise).
