O R D E R

This case is a qui tam action, which was referred to Magistrate Judge Bruce G.

Macdonald for a settlement conference. The case having been resolved between the United

States and Defendants at trial, on May 27, 2012, the Relator sought to reopen the litigation as

to the remaining unintervened claims. The Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss. The parties

agreed to proceed with a settlement conference before completing briefing the Motion to

Dismiss.

On December 6, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation

advising the Court to accept the parties’ settlement agreement and dismiss the action with

prejudice as to all parties. The Report and Recommendation was sent to all parties, including

the Government, with notice that any objections should be filed within 14 days.
