REAVLEY, Circuit Judge, specially
concurring:
I concur in this judgment because the district court properly ruled that the complaint failed to state a legal claim. The judge there ruled two years prior to Allison Engine Co. v. United States ex rel. Sanders, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 2123, 170 L.Ed.2d 1030 (2008), and did so correctly. I see no Rule 9(b) defect. The manner of payment by the United States is stated: it is a federal grant for a percentage of the state agency’s budget. But that fails to allege a claim under the False Claims Act as decided by the Supreme Court.
