A significant part of the Qui Tam lawsuit against Escambia County's EMS division by Rayme Edler was dismissed today by Federal Judge M. Casey Rogers.
From the motion:
"Plaintiff-Relator Rayme M. Edler filed a qui tam action in part pursuant to the False Claims Act (“FCA”), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729(a)(1)(A), (B), (G), alleging that Defendant Escambia County submitted fraudulent claims for reimbursement to the federal government. The United States has declined to intervene. See ECF No. 7. Now before the Court is Escambia County’s Motion to Dismiss Count II of the Second Amended Complaint. ECF No. 91. Having reviewed the matter, the motion to dismiss is granted."
