Before the court is defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment. See Dkt.
145. The motion came on for hearing on November 10, 2022. Plaintiffs-relators
appeared through their counsel, Stephen Jaffe. Defendants appeared through their
counsel, Richard Jacobson. At the hearing, plaintiffs’ counsel confirmed that plaintiffs do
not oppose the motion, which seeks summary judgment as to only the first and second
causes of action under the federal False Claims Act. See Dkt. 150. Accordingly, based
on the parties’ papers and on counsel’s representations at the hearing, defendants’
motion for partial summary judgment (Dkt. 145) is GRANTED.
At the hearing, the court also addressed plaintiffs’ administrative motion seeking
leave to file a motion to compel. See Dkt. 152, 153. As stated at the hearing, plaintiffs’
request is untimely, and the administrative motion is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
