 the District Court's dismissal of the Federal False Claims Act claim. On February 20, 2024, the plaintiff filed a motion for an indicative ruling and to set aside the judgment in the District Court, based on the same arguments raised in his appeal. That motion was fully briefed and the District Court determined that the motion for an indicative ruling was suitable for determination without a hearing. On May 7, 2024, the District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for an indicative ruling. The appeal is fully briefed, and the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on November 21, 2024. On January 29, 2025, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s order dismissing the litigation. The plaintiff intends to file a Petition for Panel and En Banc Rehearing and has asked the Ninth Circuit to extend his filing deadline until March 31, 2025.

The individual defendant filed an answer denying the claim on April 28, 2023.
