               UNPUBLISHED DECISION ON FEES AND COSTS 1

       On December 1, 2014, petitioner filed a stipulation of fact concerning final
attorneys’ fees and costs in the above-captioned matter. Previously, petitioner
informally submitted a draft application for attorneys’ fees and costs to respondent
for review. Upon review of petitioner’s application, respondent raised objections
to certain items. Based on subsequent discussions, petitioner amended her
application to request $13,500.00, an amount to which respondent does not object.
The Court awards this amount.



       1
          The E-Government Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-347, 116 Stat. 2899, 2913 (Dec. 17,
2002), requires that the Court post this decision on its website. Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 18(b),
the parties have 14 days to file a motion proposing redaction of medical information or other
information described in 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(d)(4). Any redactions ordered by the special
master will appear in the document posted on the website.
       On June 28, 2013, Scott Schlosser filed a petition for compensation alleging
that the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (“Tdap”) vaccine, which he received
on August 13, 2010, caused him to suffer a should injury to vaccine administration.
(“SIRVA”). Petitioner received compensation based upon the parties’
stipulation. Decision, filed July 14, 2014. Because petitioner received
compensation, he is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(e).

       Petitioner seeks a total of $13,500.00 in attorneys’ fees and costs for her
counsel. Additionally, in compliance with General Order No. 9, petitioner states
that he incurred no out-of-pocket litigation expenses while pursuing this claim.
Respondent has no objection to the amount requested for attorneys’ fees and costs.

      After reviewing the request, the Court awards the following:

      a. A lump sum of $13,500.00 in the form of a check made payable to
         petitioner and petitioner’s attorney, Elizabeth M. Muldowney, for
         attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs available under 42 U.S.C. §
         300aa-15(e).

      The Court thanks the parties for their cooperative efforts in resolving this
matter. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly.

     Any questions may be directed to my law clerk, Christina Gervasi, at (202)
357-6521.

      IT IS SO ORDERED.
