   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2151
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Qui Tam. Plaintiff brought this action against Planned 
   Parenthood under the False Claims Act, alleging it violated Iowa law by 
   dispensing extra cycles of oral contraceptives without a doctor's order 
   and by illegally billing Iowa Medicaid Enterprises for post-abortion 
   related procedures. For the court's prior opinion in the matter see U.S. 
   ex rel. Thayer v. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, 765 F.3d 914 (8th 
   Cir. 2014). The district court did not err finding plaintiff's complaint 
   regarding dispensing of oral contraceptives was not particular enough 
   under the heightened pleading standards applicable to a False Claims Act 
   suit, and the court properly granted the organization's motion for summary 
   judgment; plaintiff failed to prove certain claims the organization 
   submitted for payment were either false or that they were knowingly false, 
   and the court did not err in granting the organization summary judgment.
