The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that the case was properly dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the plaintiff's allegations were based upon prior public disclosures and he did not qualify as an "original source" within the meaning of the False Claims Act's public disclosure bar.
