Heading: Anderson's Settlement

Text: For a time Anderson and the Government tried to settle the Government's case against him. He argues they reached an agreement and have an enforceable settlement; the Government argues the settlement was never made final and should not be enforced. The district court dismissed all of the relator's claims on all contracts against defendant Anderson, and all of the Government's claims but one claim on contract 29 against defendant Anderson ... as untimely under the FCA's statute of limitations. United States ex rel. Miller v. Bill Harbert Int'l Constr., Inc., 505 F.Supp.2d 1, 19 (D.D.C.2007). At trial Anderson was found liable for $149,615.20 on that one claim. 501 F.Supp.2d 51, 58 (D.D.C.2007). Anderson joined the other defendants' argument that the statute of limitations bars all claims concerning Contract 29. Having agreed with the defendants on that point, we have no need to reach Anderson's alternative argument that the Government and he entered into a final and binding settlement agreement.
