Georgia Court of Appeals

Steven Jordan et al.. v. State Of Georgia

A15A1733 March 23, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a prior federal False Claims Act settlement barred the Georgia State's action under the Georgia False Medicaid Claims Act due to res judicata. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's motion to dismiss because the prior settlement included a voluntary dismissal with prejudice regarding state law claims.
