| Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which helped win an $88.5 million jury verdict for MGA Entertainment in a dispute over the rights to the highly profitable Bratz doll line, has asked for permission to fire its client in a related dispute on the ground that the company owes more than $1.2 million in attorney fees. | |

Blackstone Medical Inc. reversed a March 2010 dismissal of the complaint for failing to identify a materially false or fraudulent claim under the FCA. | |
