OPINION
LUTTIG, Circuit Judge:
Appellants, two corporations who participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”), object to a district court order unsealing a False Claims Act (“FCA”) complaint brought against them by the government as intervenor in a previously sealed complaint brought under the FCA’s qui tarn provision. Finding no error in the district court’s exercise of discretion in unsealing the record, we affirm.
