   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.
