The court of appeals affirmed a summary judgment. The court held that a qui tam plaintiff failed to show there was a general issue of triable fact as to whether the failure of a defendant, who made claims to the government for work done on a government contract, to conform its payment requests to a contract-required cost and progress tracking system constituted a material breach of reporting obligations under the False Claims Act.
