States’ Notice of Election to Decline Intervention, all of which the relator will serve upon the 

Defendants only after service of the Complaint; 

3. The seal be lifted as to all other matters occurring in this action after the date of this Order; 

4. The parties shall serve all pleadings and motions filed in this action, including supporting 

memoranda, upon the United States, as provided for in 31 U.S.C. § 3730(c)(3). The United States may 

order any deposition transcripts and is entitled to intervene in this action, for good cause, at any time; 

5. The parties shall serve all notices of appeal, and any supporting documents and memoranda, 

upon the United States; 

6. All orders of this Court shall be sent to the United States; and that 

7. Should the relator or the Defendants propose that this action be dismissed, settled, or 

otherwise discontinued, the party proposing such action shall provide the United States with notice of 

such action. The court cannot be responsible for policing the file and giving the United States notice of 

actions taken or filings made by the parties. The United States is therefore responsible for monitoring 

the file, and if it so requests, the court will afford the United States an opportunity to be heard before 

ruling or granting its approval to any requests for dismissal, settlement or discontinuance of this action. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
