First to File: Issue 5

In this edition of First to File, Steptoe examines a settlement involving a construction company that improperly claimed credit for using disadvantaged business entities on federally-funded New Jersey construction contracts that did not actually perform the work; an Anti-Kickback Statute case where the district court denied defendant’s motion to compel certain Medicare claims data and rejected the “benefit of the bargain” approach to damages for AKS-tainted Medicare claims; and an FCA case involving a motion to stay discovery during the pendency of a dispositive motion.
