The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion to file an amended False Claims Act complaint because the federal district court did not abuse its discretion in finding the relator did not allege the existence of a FCA claim with sufficient particularity. The district court dismissed the relator's complaint, which alleged the defendant obtained government contracts by fraudulently exaggerating the extent of its dealings with small and minority-owned businesses. In a prior decision (52 CCF ¶78,966), the appellate court affirmed the dismissal. However, it vacated the district court's denial of the relator's motion to file a second amended complaint and remanded the case for consideration in light of U.S. ex rel. Bledsoe v. Community Health Systems, Inc. (501 F3d 493). Bledsoe held a relator who alleges a "complex and far-reaching fraudulent scheme" need not state with particularity all of the false claims made over the course of the scheme but must include specific examples of the payment claims that are characteristic examples illustrative of the class of all claims covered by the fraudulent scheme.
