ORDER

ROY B. DALTON, Jr., District Judge.

This cause is before the Court on the United States of America's Consented Motion to Extend Administrative Closure of this Case Until October 22, 2016 (Doc. 121), filed August 22, 2016. Upon consideration, the Court finds that the Motion is due to be granted.

On March 27, 2014, Plaintiff initiated the instant qui tam action against Defendants under the Federal False Claims Act ("FCA") and the Florida False Claims Act. (See Doc. 1.) On August 19, 2016, Plaintiff-Relator John Doe notified the Court that the parties to this action had reached a settlement agreement in principle. (Doc. 120.) The following business day, the Court issued its standard dismissal order granting the parties leave to file a stipulated form of final judgment or move to reopen the case within sixty days. (Doc. 122 ("Dismissal Order").) In the interim, the United States requested that the Court extend administrative closure of the case until October 22, 2016, to: (1) permit the parties to finalize their settlement agreement; and (2) allow the Government to review the agreement and indicate whether it consents to any proposed dismissal. (Doc. 121 ("Motion").) The Motion is unopposed. (Id. at 3.)

Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(1), an FCA claim brought by a private person must be brought in the name of the Government and "may be dismissed only if the court and the Attorney General give written consent to the dismissal and their reasons for consenting." Upon consideration of the foregoing statute, the Court finds that the Motion is due to be granted. As such, the Court will vacate its Dismissal Order.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

DONE AND ORDERED.
