YEGIAZARYAN v. SMAGIN

Alito, J., dissenting

only a small number of court of appeals decisions implementing it, and even fewer with respect to intangible property. Moreover, unlike in our typical extraterritoriality case, we have received no input here from the sovereign states our rules will affect, including the U. S. Government. RJR Nabisco, 579 U. S., at 348; Morrison, 561 U. S., at 269; F. Hoffmann-La Roche, 542 U. S., at 167–168. *** The only rule of law that the Court announces today is that there is no rule, and despite offering such minimal guidance regarding how to site a RICO injury, the Court nonetheless manages to sow confusion regarding our broader law of extraterritoriality. Respectfully, the most we could contribute to this issue at this juncture is to stay away from it. I would dismiss the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted.
