The dismissal reduces near-term litigation overhang, but plaintiffs have leave to amend. Monitor for any fourth amended complaint within 28 days. The case is unlikely to have material financial impact given the de minimis alleged damages.

Executive Summary
The Northern District of Texas granted DraftKings' motion to dismiss plaintiffs' RICO and Section 1983 claims, finding the alleged wire fraud did not constitute a pattern of racketeering and that DraftKings was not a state actor. The court declined supplemental jurisdiction over state-law claims and granted plaintiffs 28 days to amend. The alleged damages of $17,320 are trivial relative to DraftKings' $12.8B market cap, making this a procedural win with minimal financial exposure.
