United States Ninth Circuit


US v. Smith, 16-10160

Affirming the district court's denial of intervention in the case of a qui tam action taken against a podiatrist who was engaged in making fraudulent Medicare, Medicaid, and Medi-Cal claims because a criminal forfeiture action is not an alternate remedy to a qui tam action, so relators cannot intervene in the criminal action and recover a share of the proceeds.
