United States Ex Rel. Bowan v. Education America, Inc.

116 F. App'x 531

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The district court ruled correctly in its memorandum and order of January 7, 2004. False certifications of compliance with applicable regulations and statutes governing participation in federal student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act did not constitute a basis for imposing liability on the defendants under the False Claims Act because the relator did not allege that the defendants made certifications of compliance with particular regulations on which payment was conditioned. U.S. ex rel Graves v. ITT Educational Services, Inc., 284 F.Supp.2d 487 (S.D.Tex.2003). AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
