1Opinion of the Court
PAUL KELLY, JR., Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff-Appellant Jolene Lemmon appeals from the district court’s dismissal with prejudice of her complaint alleging false claims against the government. See ApltApp. 705. The district court dismissed under Rules 8(a), 9(b) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. She contends that the district court overlooked her implied-certification (of false claims) theory and erred in rejecting her express-certification theory. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we reverse.
