J. Selna reduces the relator's motion for $5.8 million in attorney fees regarding the government's claim that the pharmaceutical company induced federal and state governments to overpay for Botox under government-funded health programs. Although the relator's main counsel is qualified, the hourly rate they requested for litigation support personnel is more than the hourly rate for its staff attorneys, so the main counsel receives the reduced amount of $5.6 million in attorney fees.

J. Gorton denies a pharmaceutical company’s motion for summary judgment and grants the federal government’s motion for partial summary judgment in a case against the pharmaceutical firm for allegedly paying kickbacks for false Medicare claims through illegal copay subsidies on Copaxone, a drug for multiple sclerosis. There are emails from the drug maker’s employees that show its employees believe that the company would have lost Copaxone sales if it didn’t offer the subsidies. Anti-kickback statute violations that result in federal health care payments are automatically considered false claims under the False Claims Act.

J. Chuang grants an orthopedic surgery firm its motion to dismiss claims of wage law and False Claims Act violations by a former doctor. The doctor argues the firm violated the Act when it claimed he and another doctor owed overhead expenses and loans exceeding their outstanding accounts receivable, which the doctor claims is false. Then the firm “took control” of the accounts receivable. However, even if the doctor had presented sufficient evidence of false claims, which he failed to do, he is not protected under the Act.
