*SUMMARY ORDER*

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-relator Associates Against Outlier Fraud (“relator”) appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Rakoff, J.), granting summary judgment in favor of defendants Huron Consulting Group, Inc., Huron Consulting Group, LLC, and Huron Consulting Services, LLC (collectively, “Huron”), Empire Health Choice Assurance, Inc., and Empire Medicare Services (collectively, “Empire”). Relator alleged that Huron violated the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (“FCA”), and the analogous New York False Claims Act, N.Y. State Fin. Law § 187*et seq.,*by submitting Medicare claims for certain “outlier payments” to which it was not entitled, and alleged that Empire, as fiscal intermediary, failed to properly review the claims before paying them. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, on the grounds that no statute or regulation prohibited Huron’s actions, and that Empire complied with all the legal requirements of a fiscal intermediary. On appeal, relator chiefly renews the arguments *45raised below. In their cross-appeal, Empire and Huron argue that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because the relator obtained the information in his complaint from public disclosures and was not the “original source” of the information contained in the complaint. *See*31 U.S.C. § 8730(e)(4). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.

The district court’s denial of the defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is reviewed *de novo. United States ex rel. Kirk v. Schindler Elevator Corp.,*601 F.3d 94, 103 (2d Cir.2010), *rev’d on other grounds,*— U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 1885, 179 L.Ed.2d 825 (2011). We conclude, for substantially the same reasons set forth in the district court’s February 16, 2012 order, that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(e)(4).

We review the district court’s grant of summary judgment *de novo. See Gonzalez v. City of Schenectady,*728 F.3d 149, 154 (2d Cir.2013). “Summary judgment is appropriate if there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” *Id.*In making this determination, we “resolve all ambiguities and draw all permissible factual inferences in favor of the party against whom summary judgment is sought.” *Terry v. Ashcroft,*336 F.3d 128, 137 (2d Cir.2003) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Summary judgment is appropriate “[wjhere the record taken as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party.” *Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp.,*475 U.S. 574, 587, 106 S.Ct. 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986).

A review of the record confirms, as the district court concluded in its March 4, 2013 memorandum order, that relator has failed to identify any statute or regulation prohibiting Huron’s claim submission practices. Assuming *arguendo*that the relevant statutes and regulations prohibit increasing charges unrelated to costs, there is not sufficient evidence in the record to permit a rational factfinder to find that this occurred here.

For the foregoing reasons, and finding no merit in relator’s other arguments, we hereby AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
