On January 20, 1999, Commercial Cleaning Services, a competitor of Colin Service Systems, Inc., in the business of providing cleaning and janitorial services, filed a nationwide class action in the in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleging that Colin had engaged in an unlawful scheme to hire undocumented immigrant workers and thereby gained an unfair competitive advantage in the cleaning market. Plaintiff alleged that Colin's scheme violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. sec. 1961 et seq., and Section 274 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(3)(A). Plaintiff sought declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief.

Colin moved to dismiss the case and to stay discovery. Plaintiff moved for class certification. On March 21, 2000, the District Court (Judge Christopher F. Droney) dismissed the case on the grounds that plaintiff had no standing to pursue the case and further failed to comply with the Court's Standing Order in civil RICO cases. Commercial Cleaning Services v. Colin Service Systems, 2000 WL 545126 (D. Conn. Mar. 21, 2000). Plaintiff appealed.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, finding that plaintiff's complaint satisfied the proximate cause requirement for civil RICO cases and any deficiencies in complying with the District Court's Standing Order did not warrant dismissal. The case was remanded for further proceedings. Commercial Cleaning Services, L.L.C. v. Colin Service Systems, Inc., 271 F.3d 374 (2d Cir. 2001).

The PACER docket reflects that on remand, the District Court (Judge Christopher F. Droney) approved a stipulation of the parties to discontinue the case, dated July 30, 2002. The terms of the stipulation are unknown.
