United States Eighth Circuit

In an ongoing investigation of hemodialysis provider's allegedly improper health care billing practices, denial of its motion to quash or modify subpoenas is affirmed where: 1) a "cold comfort" letter did not immunize it from further investigations; and 2) based on the record, it was not possible to determine which subpoenaed documents were already in the government's possession.
