Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Houston Senior Counsel Arman Nikkhoo successfully obtained a dismissal with prejudice in a qui tam action in the Western District of Texas on behalf of a non-profit entity responsible for coordinating tissue and organ transplant services.
The case centered on an extensive complaint accusing several non-profit entities of violating the False Claims Act by allegedly defrauding Medicare and Medicaid through their involvement in the procurement and transplantation of donated tissue and organs in the Tri-State Area. Nikkhoo filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the complaint failed to plead the fraud claims with the required particularity under Rule 9(b), highlighting factual gaps and logical inconsistencies.
In February 2026, the judge issued a series of opinions granting all defendants’ motions to dismiss, followed by an order of final judgment, concluding the matter with prejudice.
This victory underscores the firm’s strength in defending clients against complex fraud allegations, including in the healthcare and non-profit sectors.
