The Court dismisses Counts I – II set forth in paragraphs 77–86 as to all Defendants because the allegations do not constitute a plausible relief under the FCA and are not sufficiently specific or particular about the claims at issue; 4. The Court dismisses Count III set forth in paragraphs 82-86 with prejudice as to all Defendants because Relator has not alleged that Defendants knowingly retained an overpayment by any means whatsoever and, therefore, cannot state a claim under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1)(G); 5. The Court dismisses Claim IV set forth in paragraphs 87-90 as to all Defendants on the grounds that Relator has not alleged that Defendants agreed to conspire to violate the FCA or had the requisite intent and, therefore, cannot state a claim under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1)(C). / / / / / / / / / Case 8:15-cv-01521-JLS-DFM Document 33-2 Filed 04/19/17 Page 2 of 3 Page ID #:195 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2091201.1 3 8:15-CV-01521-JLS-DFMx [PROPOSED] ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: Dated: ________________, 2017 By: HON.

    H. MOODY’S FAILS TO ADDRESS OTHER CLAIMS Dismissal of the amended complaint is also unwarranted because Moody’s fails to address, and has waived the opportunity to address, various claims of Relator. Specifically, Moody’s does not address the claim that Moody’s sales of ratings delivery service (“RDS”), including to the Government, constitutes a direct false claim for payment under either 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1) or (2). ¶¶ 77-80.

    2. Statutory Basis for Damages An individual who violates the FCA is liable to the United States for civil penalties of “not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000, plus 3 times the amount of damages which the Government sustains because of the act of that person.” See 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a); see also Cook Cty., Ill. v. United States ex rel. Chandler, 538 U.S. 119, 120 (2003) (discussing the treble damages provision). A purpose of the multiple damages provision of the FCA is to make the Government whole for its losses.
