   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3348
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bright and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Qui Tam. In the pleadings filed with the district court, 
   defendant never claimed that it was entitled to sovereign immunity and the 
   issue of sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment is not properly 
   before this court; the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as the 
   court lacked jurisdiction to decide the only issue properly before it in 
   this interlocutory appeal - the statutory question of whether defendant is 
   a person under the False Claims Act.
