Question Presented (from Petition)

Question not identified.

The document provided is an "Application for Extension of Time to File a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari," not a petition for certiorari itself. While the application discusses important questions worthy of review (particularly in paragraphs 2-7), these are presented as background and justification for the extension request, not as a formal "Question(s) Presented" section as would appear in an actual petition for certiorari.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the False Claims Act's public disclosure bar requires courts to assess the 'substantially the same' standard for qui tam suits based on whether prior disclosures would put the government on notice of potential fraud or whether a more granular 'new and material information' test should apply
