   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1452
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and Wright, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - False Claims Act. The district court did not err in 
   dismissing this FCA suit based on the Act's public disclosure bar, 31 
   U.S.C. Section 3730(e)(4)(A); viewed collectively, the public disclosures 
   provided enough information about the participants in the scheme to 
   directly identify the defendants and the subject drugs and "set the 
   government squarely on the trail" of the defendants' participation in the 
   purported fraudulent reporting of prices for DME infusion drugs; the 
   information thus met the first prong of the public disclosure bar by 
   identifying the defendants in the case; second, the information was 
   sufficient to show defendants' fraudulent activity and thus the second 
   prong of the public disclosure bar - identification of the subject matter 
   of the fraud - was also met.
