FCA Does Not Preempt Unlawful Retaliation Claim at State Level; United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division No. 2:19-cv-746, Balisia Blanchard v. Impact Community Action

The plaintiffs’ motion to remand their complaint of unlawful retaliation back to state court is granted, where the defendant failed to demonstrate the district court had original jurisdiction over the case, even though a related FCA action had been filed.
