The Academy of Procurement Arts and Sciences Presents The Eighth Annual Rogers™

May 16, 2019

*The Award of Merit statuette and the title Academy Awards are registered trademarks of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Any similarity between our parody and (a) the cute little statue, which we borrowed off the Internet or (b) the “Academy Awards” is purely wishful thinking. And in case you could not figure it out for yourself, our Rogers have no relationship to the Oscars. If you are bothered by our good natured, fair use of these cherished icons then you take yourself far too seriously.

The Granston Memo on Dismissal of Non- Intervened Qui Tam Cases (now incorporated into the Justice Manual)

88

The Granston Memo on Dismissal of Non-Intervened Qui Tam Cases

• Factors for consideration
• Lack of merit
• Opportunistic or duplicative action
• Interference with agency policies or programs
• Controlling litigation prerogatives of government
• Safeguarding classified information and national security interests
• Preserving governmental resources
• Addressing egregious procedural errors
• Granston has stated that dismissals will “remain the exception rather than the rule”
• Circuit split on whether DOJ right to dismiss is unfettered, or subject to judicial review

The U.S. Supreme Court’s Decision

• n the FCA Statute of Limitations

91

Cochise Consultancy, Inc. v. United States ex rel. Hunt, No. 18-315 (May 13, 2019)

• FCA Statute of Limitations (31 U.S.C. § 3731) – longer of
• 6 years from violation OR
• 3 years from when government knew or should have known of violation so long as action

brought within 10 years of violation

• Circuits had split on whether relators in non-intervened qui tam cases could rely on the 3-year

discovery rule

• In unanimous decision, the Court has resolved the circuit split and held that relators in non-

intervened qui tam cases can rely on the 3-year discovery rule

• The Court also found that the relator’s personal knowledge does not constitute knowledge for

purposes of the discovery rule
