Pate v. D.R. Horton, Inc. – RICO Class Action

A proposed class action has been filed against D.R. Horton, Inc., a major homebuilder, under federal RICO statutes. The complaint apparently alleges patterns of racketeering or corrupt conduct, though specific allegations cannot be determined from the caption alone. Homebuyers and related consumers could potentially be class members depending on the nature of the alleged misconduct.

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
