HILL, Senior Circuit Judge:
This case presents a single question of law issue on appeal: after a terminated whistleblowing employee files a complaint on behalf of the United States Government against his former employer pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act 1 (FCA or the Act), 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq., does the doctrine of res judicata bar his FCA § 3730(h) claim for retaliation, filed after the qui tam action settles? The district court answered in the affirmative, granting summary judgment for the defendants. Under a de novo review, we affirm.
