United States of America Ex Rel. Theodore R. Anderson v. Northern Telecom, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
KLEINFELD, Circuit Judge:
The district court dismissed most of the qui tam claims in this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, on the ground that the 1986 amendment to the False Claims Act did not apply retroactively. One claim was dismissed on summary judgment, because the plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case of fraud. We conclude that the retroactivity analysis was mistaken, because the relevant conduct took place after the effective date of the amendment. We agree, however, that no prima facie case of fraud was made out on the claim dismissed on summary judgment.
