Colleen McGuigan v. Thomas Murray, et al. — 11th Cir. (argued August 12, 2026)

No. 25-11698 Argued August 12, 2026 Published August 13, 2026; updated August 18, 2026

Colleen McGuigan asks the Eleventh Circuit to revive federal civil racketeering, or RICO, and Florida claims against her brother Thomas Murray and two companies. She says a forged nineteen eighty-eight stock option induced her to give up shares in their family business in two thousand six. A Delaware court later barred related claims under laches, an equitable rule against harmful delay, and the federal district court dismissed this suit. McGuigan says that timeliness ruling did not decide who forged the option. The appellees say Delaware already resolved the facts needed here and that the new claims are also late.
