Judge(s): BOGGS, SUHRHEINRICH, and READLER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Relators allege that Allstate Insurance violated the False Claims Act by skirting its obligations under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. After multiple amendments by relators, the district court deemed their second amended complaint deficient in numerous respects and dismissed the case with prejudice. Because the complaint fails to state a claim for a violation of the False Claims Act, we affirm.
