   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2054
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Smith and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - False Claims Act. The district court did not err in finding
   relators were entitled to a portion of the government's recovery under the
   False Claims Act, as the defective pricing claim the government brought
   was related to relators' suit; the court rejects the idea that Rule 9(b)'s
   heightened pleading requirement plays a part in determining whether a
   relator is entitled to share in settlement proceeds resulting from a qui tam
   action in which the government elects to intervene. Judge Colloton,
   dissenting.
