U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1506
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Riley, Circuit Judge, and Gritzner,
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); the public disclosure bar can be resolved by a
motion to dismiss; plaintiff's complaint was insufficient to plausibly
state that she qualified as an original source; the district court did not
abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend; allowing a party to join
another party's motion to dismiss is well within the district court's
discretion.
