ORDER

On September 19, 2024, Plaintiff-Relator Fraud Buster LLC and Plaintiff the State of
Connecticut submitted a stipulation of dismissal, seeking to dismiss their claims asserted under
Connecticut law against all Defendants. Dkt. No. 11. The Court declines to so-order this
stipulation. The parties’ stipulated dismissal incorporates by reference terms contained in a
settlement agreement that has not been publicly filed. Absent a publicly filed settlement agreement,
the scope of the dismissal is unclear. Accordingly, the Court requests that Relator and Connecticut
file a new stipulation of dismissal that clearly sets out the scope of the desired dismissal, including
which of the claims in this action are dismissed with or without prejudice.
Relator is directed to serve a copy of this memorandum endorsement on the United States,
the State of New York, the State of Connecticut, and all Defendants and retain proof of service.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 19, 2024
New York, New York
