IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
SOUTHERN DIVISION

JAMES ALDRIDGE, RELATOR,
on behalf of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

V.

PLAINTIFF

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:16-CV-369 HTW-LRA

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT, INC., et al

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
BEFORE THIS COURT is Plaintiffs’ motion for Partial Judgment as a Matter of Law.
Plaintiffs have filed their motion pursuant to Rule 50 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
By their motion, Plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to a judgment on the following three
matters: (1) Julie Cain’s compensation for consulting claimed and reimbursed by Medicare; (2)
Julie Cain’s director’s fees claimed and reimbursed by Medicare; and (3) the reasonableness of
Ted Cain’s salary claimed and reimbursed by Medicare for the entire relevant period. The
defense opposes all of these arguments.
This court is persuaded to submit these claims to the jury; therefore, this court hereby
denies the Plaintiff’s motion. Even so, the court reserves to itself the power to revisit this matter
at a later date.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, this the 23rd day of February, 2020.
