How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that “contractual noncompliance, standing alone, is not a basis for FCA liability” because a knowing false statement by the contractor is also necessary
• denying a motion to dismiss an FCA claim where Relator’s complaint included allegations supporting that the parties were alter egos
• rejecting the plaintiff’s attempt to use a joint venture theory to hold members of a limited 14 liability company liable for the company’s tortious acts based exclusively on the 15 members’ public representations that they were participating in a joint venture
• allegations that three defendants independently violated FCA and had “agreed to or acquiesced in violations by the other [d]efendant(s), on other occasions,” were insufficient to plead conspiracy
