Mealey's (June 29, 2018, 1:52 PM EDT) -- ATLANTA — An 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on June 27 ruled that a federal judge in Georgia did not err when sentencing a Veterans Administration (VA) clinic’s former chief of the fee division to 27 months in prison for 50 counts of making false statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, health care services and one count of making a materially false statement to a federal agent, finding that the evidence presented by the government was sufficient and that the trial court judge did not err when imposing the sentence (United States of America v.
