Specifically, plaintiff alleges two claims against defendant: (i) a False Claims Act ("FCA") retaliation claim pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h), and (ii) a National Defense Authorization Act C*NDAA") reprisal claim pursuant to 41 U.S.C. § 4712. Defendant has moved to dismiss both claims for failure to state a claim. As the matter has been fully briefedand argued orally, it is now ripe for disposition. ^ThisMemorandum Opinion amends the Memorandum Opinion dated June 2, 2016. Nifong v. SOQ LLC, No. l:16-cv-63 (E.D. Va. June 2, 2016) (Memorandum Opinion) (Doc. 24). As defendant correctly notes in its memorandum in support of defendant's motion for reconsideration, the June 2,2016 Memorandum Opinion erroneously recited a fact not alleged in plaintiffs complaint. Although that error is immaterial to theresult reached here—and therefore defendant's motion for reconsideration must be denied—^this amended Memorandum Opinion nonetheless corrects the error identified by defendant. 1 Dockets.Justia.com
