Text: States of America and against Defendants [Gosselin], 11 See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) (instructing that “[w]hen an action presents more than one claim . . . or when multiple parties are involved, the court may direct entry of a final judgment as to one or more, but fewer than all, claims or parties . . . if the court expressly determines that there is no just reason for delay”). The court deferred decision on the relators’ claims for a percentage of the government’s recovery, together with their requests for FCA attorney fees from Gosselin, pending final disposition of this appeal. Also left pending is the fate of the lone remaining defendant in the case, Government Logistics, N.V., which was alleged liable as a successor to Gosselin. The court denied the parties’ crossmotions for summary judgment as to the successor liability question, holding it over for eventual determination by trial. 23 jointly and severally, in the amount of Five Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($5,500), on the First Cause of Action in the [Government] Complaint . . . ; (2) judgment in favor of Defendants [Gosselin] and against the Plaintiff the United States of America on the Second, Third, and Fourth Causes of Action in the [Government] Complaint . . . ; (3) judgment in favor of [Bunk] and against the Defendants [Gosselin] as to liability on Count II of the [Bunk] Complaint; and (4) judgment in favor of Defendants [Gosselin] and against the United States of America and [Bunk] as to civil penalties on Count II of the [Bunk] Complaint.
