Question Presented (from Petition)

Question not identified.

The document provided is an "Application to Extend Time to File a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari," not a petition for a writ of certiorari itself. While the document discusses important legal questions regarding the False Claims Act's affirmative defense and the "original source" exception, these discussions appear in the narrative body of the application rather than in a formal "Question(s) Presented" section with the specific formatting and structure typical of that section in Supreme Court petitions.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the False Claims Act's public disclosure bar and original source exception preclude a qui tam relator from bringing a fraud claim based on substantially similar allegations previously disclosed in government investigations
