Nos. 22-1409/23-1340 |

_________________________
OPINION
_________________________
CLAY, Circuit Judge. Defendant Michael Angelo appeals several district court orders
enforcing a settlement agreement he entered into with Plaintiff State Farm Mutual Automobile
Insurance Company (“State Farm”) in this action alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq. The district court orders
compelled Angelo to solicit the government’s consent to dismiss his claims against State Farm in
a separate action under the False Claims Act (“FCA”), 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq. Angelo argues
that the district court orders violated the FCA, Sixth Circuit precedent, and his First Amendment
rights.
For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the district court’s orders in full. |
