OPINION AND ORDER
STANTON, District'Judge.
Defendants move for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(c) with respect to all claims based on retroactive application of certain parts of the 1986 amendments to the False Claims Act (“FCA”) 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq. Specifically, the defendants claim that the new statute of limitations, enhanced civil penalties, and treble damages provisions do not apply to defendants’ conduct before October 27, 1986, and that even if the new statute of limitations does apply, the tolling provision does not benefit the Relator.
