Description
Plaintiff-Appellant, Mary McKenzie, appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment for Defendant-Appellee, BellSouth Telecommunications Inc. ("BellSouth"), in her action alleging that BellSouth harassed and discharged her in violation of the qui tam*fn1 provisions of the False Claims Act ("FCA"), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3730. Section 3730(h) of the FCA prohibits retaliation against employees engaged in the protected activity of investigating possible fraud against the United States government. McKenzie's § 3730(h) retaliation claim was one part of her original qui tam action alleging that BellSouth committed fraud against the United States government. After the district court dismissed McKenzie's qui tam action, which we subsequently affirmed in part and remanded in part for further proceedings on the § 3730(h) retaliation claim, the district court granted summary judgment for BellSouth on the retaliation claim. Now, McKenzie appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment for BellSouth, contending that sufficient evidence existed to establish that BellSouth was aware that she was contemplating a qui tam suit under the FCA, as required by § 3730(h).
