Order Granting Stipulation of Dismissal — No. 1:20-cv-00942 (Dkt. 30, E.D. Cal.)

Summary

An order granting a stipulation of dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a) in United States ex rel. Bell Hill, LLC v. John Seasholtz, et al., No. 1:20-cv-00942-ADA-BAM, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, dated August 10, 2023 and filed as Document 30. The order recounts that the United States intervened in the False Claims Act claims against the Seasholtz Defendants, declined to intervene as to Bank of the West, and negotiated a settlement whose Covered Conduct consists of allegations that the Seasholtz Defendants misrepresented payroll and headcounts on PPP applications and used PPP loans to pay down personal lines of credit. Citing 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(1), the court finds no settlement term unfair. The action is dismissed with prejudice as to the relator and without prejudice as to Bank of the West.
