   PER CURIAM:

Plaintiff Dtex, LLC (Plaintiff), a South Carolina Corporation, brought the present civil action against defendant BBVA Ban-comer, S.A. (Defendant), a foreign financial institution headquartered in Mexico, in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. Plaintiffs action seeks damages under South Carolina common law and treble damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961— 1968. The gravamen of Plaintiffs complaint is that Defendant engaged in a course of criminal and corrupt practices to prevent Plaintiff from obtaining possession of certain equipment that Plaintiff had purchased in Mexico.

Of relevance on appeal, Defendant moved, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2), to dismiss Plaintiffs state law claims for lack of personal jurisdiction and moved, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), to dismiss Plaintiffs RICO claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. After allowing Plaintiff to amend its complaint and submit a RICO case statement, which case statement the district court treated as further amending the complaint, and after considering the legal memoranda submitted and oral arguments presented by the parties, the district court granted both motions in a comprehensive and exhaustive opinion. Dtex, LLC v. BBVA Bancomer, S.A., 405 F.Supp.2d 639 (D.S.C. Dec.20, 2005).

Having thoroughly reviewed the district court’s excellent opinion and the parties’ briefs and submissions on appeal, and having heard oral argument in this case, we conclude that the district court did not err in granting Rule 12(b)(2) dismissal of Plaintiffs state law claims, nor did it err in granting Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of Plaintiffs RICO claims. We, therefore, affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Dtex, LLC, 405 F.Supp.2d at 643-52.

AFFIRMED.
