UNITED STATES’ CONSENT TO VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

On January 31, 2019, Relator Integra Med Analytics LLC (“Relator”) filed a Notice of

Voluntary Dismissal of False Claims Act Claim Without Prejudice and Unopposed Motion to
Seal Portions of Original Complaint. (Docket No. 13). Relator stated that “the United States
consents to dismissal, without prejudice.” Jd On March 7, 2019, the Court ordered the United
States to submit a written consent to dismissal and its reasons for consenting. (Docket No. 14).
Pursuant to the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(1), the United States hereby notifies the
Court that the Attorney General consents to the dismissal of this action without prejudice. After

thorough review of the complaint and data and materials referenced therein, an interview with

Relator and its representatives, and investigation of the allegations, the United States has

determined that such a dismissal is commensurate with the public interest and that the matter

does not warrant the continued expenditure of government resources to pursue or monitor the

action based on currently available information.

The United States requests that Relator’s Redacted Complaint, Relator’s Notice of

Voluntary Dismissal of False Claims Act Claim Without Prejudice and Unopposed Motion to

~ Case 3:17-cv-00553-FDW-DCK Document 15 _

Filed 04/04/19 Page 1 of 3
Seal Portions of Original Complaint, this Consent, the Court’s Order dismissing this action, and

all subsequent filings in this action be unsealed. The United States requests that all other papers

on file in this action remain under seal because in discussing the content and extent of the United
States’ investigation, such papers are provided by law to the Court alone for the sole purpose of

evaluating whether the seal and time for making an election to intervene should be extended.

Respectfully submitted this 4th day of April, 2019.
