7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Jeffrey Lewis v. AbbVie Inc., f/k/a/ Allergan
24-3121
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Damon Leichty. Affirms the district court’s dismissal of Jeffrey Lewis’ lawsuit against AbbVie, Inc. under the False Claims Act. Finds that because Lewis only complained of regulatory, rather than fraudulent, violations in his internal communications with AbbVie, the company had no reason to think Lewis’s concerns revolved around the False Claims Act. Also finds AbbVie could not have retaliated against Lewis as a fraud whistleblower because he never blew the whistle on fraud. Attorneys for appellant: Ryan Milligan, Peter Hamann. Attorneys for appellee: John Maley, Elizabeth Hess, Brenton Rogers, Philip Cooper.
