                DECISION AWARDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS1

       On August 25, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation of fact in which they agreed on an
appropriate amount for attorneys’ fees and costs in this case.

        In accordance with the General Order #9 requirement, petitioner asserts that she did not
incur any costs in pursuit of her petition. Petitioner submitted her request for attorneys’ fees and
costs to respondent. During informal discussions, respondent raised objections to certain items in
petitioner’s application. Respondent does not contest reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and costs

  Because this unpublished decision contains a reasoned explanation for the special master’s action in this
case, the special master intends to post this unpublished decision on the United States Court of Federal
Claims’s website, in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-347, 116 Stat. 2899,
2913 (Dec. 17, 2002). Vaccine Rule 18(b) states that all decisions of the special masters will be made
available to the public unless they contain trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is
privileged and confidential, or medical or similar information whose disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of privacy. When such a decision is filed, petitioner has 14 days to identify and
move to redact such information prior to the document=s disclosure. If the special master, upon review,
agrees that the identified material fits within the banned categories listed above, the special master shall
redact such material from public access.
in the amount of $10,419.54. Respondent does not object to this amount. The undersigned finds
this amount to be reasonable. Accordingly, the court awards $10,419.54, representing
reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and costs. The award shall be in the form of a check payable
jointly to petitioner and Maglio, Christopher & Toale, P.A., in the amount of $10,419.54.

        In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the clerk of the
court is directed to enter judgment herewith.2


IT IS SO ORDERED.


Dated: August 25, 2014                                                             s/ Laura D. Millman

                                                                                      Special Master
