False Claims Act Action

In US ex rel. Steury v. Cardinal Health, Inc., No. 09-20718, an action claiming that defendants sold the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs defective medical equipment in violation of the False Claims Act, the court affirmed the dismissal of the action where the factual allegations in the amended complaint provided no basis for implying a false certification.  However, the court reversed final judgment for defendant where the district court granted leave to amend but nonetheless entered a final judgment before the time to amend expired.
