Possible Future Retaliation Insufficient to Maintain Seal on Dropped Qui Tam Case; United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division, No. 2:20-cv-235-GMB, U.S. ex rel. Jay Meythaler v. Encompass Health Corporation, et al.

The district court declined the relator’s motion to maintain the seal on his qui tam complaint alleging FCA violations and retaliation, finding his concerns about hypothetical possible future retaliation did not outweigh the presumption of public access to court documents.
