The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court’s denial of an insurers’ post-judgment motion for leave to amend their complaint after dismissal of their civil RICO claims against medical providers accused of submitting fraudulent billing for auto-accident treatments, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion because the insurers unduly delayed seeking amendment and failed to show that the proposed allegations could not have been raised earlier.
