Holds that the government may move to dismiss a qui tam suit whenever it has intervened, and that Rule 41(a) governs such motions. Describes the FCA scheme (relator share up to 30%; 60-day seal; later intervention for good cause), the facts of Polansky's 2012 qui tam suit, and (dissent) the 15-25% and 25-30% ranges. No statistics. The event was already recorded; added the relator-share rules as the Court and the dissent state them, and the Polansky suit as a case (dismissed, no recovery).
