   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3710
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - qui tam. District court did not err in dismissing qui tam 
   action as there was not sufficient evidence of fraud to survive summary 
   judgment; the court did not abuse its discretion in denying further 
   discovery and properly evaluated the evidence and credibility issues; the 
   court erred in granting the university summary judgment on plaintiff's 
   claim she was retaliated against in violation of the Federal Whistleblower 
   statute - 31 U.S.C. Sec. 3730(h); plaintiff presented sufficient evidence 
   to show she was engaged in protected activity and that the university 
   knew of such activity; case remanded for further proceedings on the 
   retaliation claim.
