ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the order of said District Court be and it hereby is AFFIRMED.

Petróleos Mexicanos and its subsidiary Pemex-Refinanción (together, "Pemex") appeal from the July 30, 2013 memorandum and order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Stanton, J.) dismissing their complaint alleging defendants SK Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. and Siemens Aktiengesellschaft violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., by bribing Pemex officials to approve overrun and expense payments in the course of an oil refinery rehabilitation project. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history, and specification of issues for review.

In our recent decision in European Community v. RJR Nabisco, Inc., __ F.3d. ___ 2014 WL 1613878 (2d Cir. April 23, 2014), our Court held that "the extraterritorial application of RICO [is] coextensive with the extraterritorial application of the relevant predicate statutes." Id. at *7. We also held that wire fraud cannot serve as such an extraterritorial predicate. Here, because Pemex relies exclusively on the wire fraud statute in pleading predicate acts, it has failed to state a claim sufficient to support extraterritorial application of RICO. To the extent Pemex relies on several allegations of domestic activity to support its RICO claim, these, too, are insufficient. "[S]imply alleging that some domestic conduct occurred cannot support a claim of domestic application." Norex Petroleum Ltd. v. Access Indus., Inc., 631 F.3d 29, 32-33 (2d Cir. 2010).

The scheme alleged by Pemex possesses three minimal contacts with the United States: the financing was obtained here, the invoices were sent to the bank for payment, and the bank issued payment. Absent from the pleadings are any allegations that the scheme was directed from (or to) the United States. The activities involved in the alleged scheme-falsifying the invoices, the bribes, the approval of the false invoices-took place outside of the United States. The allegations of domestic conduct are simply insufficient to sustain RICO jurisdiction.

In the supplemental briefing requested by this Court, Pemex sought remand with a direction that the district court permit Pemex to amend its complaint. Pemex asserts that ongoing proceedings might unearth information regarding cost overruns and bribes that may provide a basis for them to plead additional domestic contacts. However, Pemex has not adduced any information that would demonstrably alter the substance of its complaint. See In re Am. Exp. Co. S'holder Litig., 39 F.3d 395, 402 (2d Cir. 1994) (holding that "leave to amend may be denied if the amendment would be futile"); see also Pac. Inv. Mgmt. Co. LLC v. Mayer Brown LLP, 603 F.3d 144, 160 (2d Cir. 2010) ("Plaintiffs do not disclose to us those recently discovered facts and there is therefore no basis for suggesting, much less concluding, that plaintiffs could amend their claims . . . in a way that would make them viable."). Without a more definitive statement of information that could alter our analysis, we decline to remand with direction to permit amendment.

We have considered the remainder of Pemex's arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court hereby is AFFIRMED. Each side to bear its own costs.
