United States, ex rel. Michelle Calderon v. Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 22-1553 · judgment June 14, 2023
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a federal-government petitioner, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a Seventh Circuit decision below, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Did the Appellate Panel erroneously uphold the granting of summary judgment in favor of Respondent in finding no evidence of causation for a jury to consider, thereby stripping Congress' intended reach and scope of the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§3729– 3733); and, where a summary judgment ruling is appealed, do the damages springing from the reversal of the lower court’s finding survive, herein, civil penalties from a finding of evidence of materiality?
