ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS TO AND ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.

The matters before me are (1) the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#313],1 filed June 2, 2014; and (2) Plaintiff's Objection to Recommendation of U.S. Magistrate Judge Hegarty Regarding the Belfast Johnsons' Motion To Dismiss [#65] [#323], filed June 16, 2014. I overrule the objection, adopt the recommendation, and grant the apposite motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over the movants in this forum

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Thus, I have construed his pleadings more liberally and held them to a less stringent standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. See Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007); Andrews v. Heaton, 483 F.3d 1070, 1076 (10th Cir. 2007); Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21, 92 S.Ct. 594, 595-96, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972)). .

As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), I have reviewed de novo all portions of the recommendation to which objections have been filed. Thus, I have considered carefully the recommendation, objections, and applicable caselaw.

The recommendation is detailed and well-reasoned. Contrastingly, plaintiff's objection is imponderous and without merit. Even under the liberal interpretation to be afford pro se pleadings, the magistrate judge was exceedingly generous in construing plaintiff's complaint to plausibly assert personal jurisdiction over defendant Mathews pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(k)(2). Nevertheless, and as detailed more particularly in the magistrate judge's recommendation, the allegations of the complaint are patently insufficient to establish any conceivable basis warranting extraterritorial application of RICO to these defendants.

For one thing, plaintiff's repeated references, both in his complaint and in his objections, to the alleged actions of the "RICO defendants" or even the "Belfast Johnsons defendants" as an undifferentiated group are patently insufficient to overcome a motion to dismiss. "[T]he complaint [must] make clear exactly who is alleged to have done what to whom, to provide each individual with fair notice as to the basis of the claims against him or her, as distinguished from collective allegations[.]" Robbins v. Oklahoma, 519 F.3d 1242, 1250 (10th Cir. 2008). For this reason, "group pleading" is insufficient to state a plausible claim implicating a particular defendant. Seni ex rel. Ciber, Inc. v. Peterschmidt, 2013 WL 1191265 at *3 (D. Colo. March 22, 2013). "The fact that one individual had certain knowledge or motivation or took a certain action does not create an assumption or presumption that others in a group with that individual share that knowledge or motivation or took the same action." Id.

The limited number of allegations that do specifically implicate Ms. Mathews do not, singularly or together, plausibly state a cause of action for violation of RICO based on defendants' alleged extraterritorial conduct. See CGC Holding Co., LLC v. Hutchens, 824 F.Supp.2d 1193, 1209 (D. Colo. 2011) ("`[I]solated domestic conduct does not permit RICO to apply to what is essentially foreign activity.'") (quoting United States v. Philip Morris, 783 F.Supp.2d 23, 29 (D.D.C. 2011)). "[N]owhere does the statute evidence a concern with foreign enterprises, let alone a concern sufficiently clear to overcome the presumption against extraterritoriality. . . . [T]here is no evidence that Congress intended to criminalize foreign racketeering activities under RICO." Phillip Morris, 783 F.Supp.2d at 29. The mere fact that the effect of defendants' alleged actions occurred in the United States is plainly inadequate to support such a cause of action against these defendants. See id. (noting that "effects" test for extraterritorial application of federal statute has been rejected in other contexts).2

I thus find and conclude that the arguments advanced, authorities cited, and findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation proposed by the magistrate judge should be approved and adopted.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#313], filed June 2, 2014, is APPROVED AND ADOPTED as an order of this court;
