1Opinion of the Court
CYNTHIA HOLCOMB HALL, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents several constitutional challenges to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq. The question of the constitutionality of the qui tam provisions is one of first impression in this circuit. We hold that these provisions do not exceed the limitations of Article III of the Constitution, nor do they violate the constitutional principle of separation of powers, the Appointments Clause of Article II, or the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
