Summary

A proposed order granting the United States' Notice of Election to Intervene in Part for Purposes of Settlement and to Decline to Intervene in Part and Request to Unseal, filed December 23, 2022 as Document 26 in United States ex rel. Bell Hill, LLC v. John Seasholtz; Sweetwood Farm Co. LLC; Mendota Land Company; Sweetwood Farm Inc; Seasholtz Co. LLC; and Bank of the West, Case No. 1:20-CV-00942-ADA-BAM, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. Under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(2) and (4), the order would unseal the relator's complaint, the notice and the order itself, while all other papers or orders on file remain under seal. It would lift the seal on later matters in the action and direct that all orders be sent to the United States. The page bears a /s/ signature block for a magistrate judge dated December 23, 2022.
