68Sep 18, 2014ViewMOTION for Partial Summary Judgment by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Attachments: # 1 Statement of Facts, # 2 Text of Proposed Order)(Valdez, Darrell) (Entered: 09/18/2014)
Sep 19, 2014MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the plaintiff's 68 Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, without prejudice, as premature and not in compliance with this Court's 23 Standing Order paragraph 5(f), which emphasizes that the Court "strongly prefers that the parties refrain from filing partial dispositive motions." Considering that discovery in this matter will not close until January 19, 2015, see Minute Order, April 17, 2014, the instant 68 Motion addressing two of the defendants' potential affirmative defenses is premature and briefing and deciding it at this juncture, without the benefit of complete discovery, would constitute an unnecessary waste of judicial resources and the parties' time.

Sep 8, 2017MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING the government's 150 Motion in limine to exclude reference to Contractor Assistance Visit report cards. The government seeks to exclude, under Federal Rule of Evidence ("FRE") 403, any reference to Contractor Assistance Visit ("CAV") report cards, which report cards the government itself created. As the government admits, "procedural" or "systems" compliance with the defendant's contractual requirements "was monitored by an Industrial Operations Analyst [("IOA")], who would conduct Contractor Assistance Visits (CAVS) over the course of a contract." Mot. In Limine to Exclude CAV Report Cards, at 3, ECF No. 150. "[F]or more than a decade,... the GSA's regional office gave the defendant not just 'satisfactory' or 'very good,' but 'exceptional' ratings on its report cards." United States ex rel. Scutellaro v. Capitol Supply, Inc., Civ. No. 10-1094 (BAH), 2017 WL 1422364, at *21 (D.D.C. Apr. 19, 2017). "[T]he assigned IOA out of the Atlanta Regional Office who conducted the defendant's CAVs[] never once marked the defendant down for TAA non-compliance despite the defendant's complete lack of retention of historical [country-of-origin] information until at least June 2009, testifying that she 'didn't see anything wrong with their process or their understanding of the Trade Agreements Act.'" Id. (citation omitted). As liability under the False Claims Act depends on whether the defendant acted "knowingly," see 31 U.S.C. ???? 3729(a)(1)-(2), the CAV report cards are assuredly relevant to this scienter burden that plaintiffs must establish, and this relevance is not outweighed, much less substantially outweighed, by any unfair prejudice, or likelihood to confuse the issues or mislead the jury. See Fed. R. Evid. 403 (permitting the exclusion of relevant evidence when "its probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of one or more of the following: unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence."). The government's contention that the defendant's "reliance upon the Report Cards is misplaced," see Mot. In Limine to Exclude CAV Report Cards, at 1, ECF No. 150, amounts to an argument that the jury will evaluate. Signed by Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell on September 8, 2017 (lcbah4) (Entered: 09/08/2017)

Sep 18, 2019MINUTE ORDER (paperless) DENYING any request for an order that fails to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b) ("A request for a court order must be made by motion."); and further DIRECTING, upon consideration of the government's 208 Stipulation of Partial Dismissal and the Relator's 209 Status Report, that the parties file, by September 25, 2019, a Joint Status Report addressing the following issues: (1) how the 208 Stipulation comports with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), which requires a stipulation of dismissal to be "signed by all parties who have appeared" when the defendant has served an answer, see 44 Def.'s Answer to Amended Complaint; 45 Def.'s Answer to Intervenor Complaint, since this document, though styled as a "stipulation" is unsigned by the defendant; (2) whether the 208 Stipulation should be construed as a motion to dismiss pursuant to 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(c)(2)(A) ("The Government may dismiss [an] action notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating [it] if the person has been notified by the Government of the filing of the motion and the court has provided the person with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion.") or as a stipulation of settlement pursuant to 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(c)(2)(B) ("The Government may settle [an] action with the defendant notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating the action if the court determines, after a hearing, that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable under all the circumstances."), and, if so, whether any hearing is required, see United States ex rel. Kammarayil, No. 15-cv-1699 (BAH), 2019 WL 464820, at *1 (D.D.C. Feb. 6, 2019); (3) why the government's stipulation and proposed order cites Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (41)(a) and 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(b)(1) as its authority to dismiss or settle this case rather than 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(c)(2)(A) or 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(c)(2)(B); (4) why this Court should agree to retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of a settlement agreement that has been neither filed in nor received by this Court and where any action to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement could appropriately be brought as a separate civil action; (5) clarifying which claims remain at issue in this case; and (6) explaining whether the funds for the payment of any attorneys' fees requested by the Relator pursuant to 31 U.S.C. ?? 3730(d)(1), which provides for the award of "reasonable expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs," id., with "[a]ll such expenses, fees, and costs... awarded against the defendant," id. would be derived from the settlement reached between the United States and the defendant.
