Summary

An order of United States District Judge David J. Novak of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, in Karen Bloomfield v. Engineered Structures, Inc., Civil No. 1:22-cv-00789-DJN-IDD, filed November 17, 2025 as Document 150, granting the relator's Motion for Settlement Approval (ECF No. 141). The order states that the defendant will pay the Government $5,750,000 to resolve all claims, that the relator receives 29.5% of that recovery, or $1,696,250, and that the defendant pays $2,750,000 to relator's counsel for fees, costs and expenses. It finds the 29.5% share reasonable under 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d)(2), noting the relator's contribution and that the Government appears not to have been aware of the conduct beforehand. The court finds the fee amounts reasonable, retains jurisdiction to enforce the agreements and closes the case.
