United States Ex Rel. Little v. Triumph Gear System, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
MORITZ, Circuit. Judge.
This appeal arises from the efforts of several whistleblowers to navigate the procedural minefield of the False Claims Act (FCA). See 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733.-In 2012, Joe Blyn commenced this FCA' action by filing a sealed complaint in the district court. The complaint named Donald Little as Blyn’s counsel of record. Months later, Little filed an amended complaint that named himself and a third person, Kurosh Motaghed, as the sole rela-tors. 1 Blyn was excised from the caption— and the rest of the amended complaint— without explanation.
