[Consolidated.] J. Scudder finds that the lower court properly found the businessman and three associated healthcare companies violated the Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act by knowingly paying kickbacks to induce referrals for medical services, many of which were paid for by Medicare. However, the $6 million judgment against the businessman must be revised, because the lower court did not sufficiently clarify which Medicare claims - all or some - resulted from the illegal kickback scheme. Affirmed in part.

J. Wright partially grants the optical medical supplier's motion for post-judgment relief in a successful action against it under the False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute. The motion is granted regarding a claim related to one doctor's trip to New York, since there is insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict regarding this trip, and insofar as the penalties imposed under the False Claims Act violate the Excessive Fines Clause. The motion is otherwise denied, and judgment is reduced to the amount of $216,675,248.55.
