Respondent.

                                 UNPUBLISHED DECISION1

       On June 3, 2015, respondent filed a joint stipulation concerning the petition for
compensation filed by Frederick and Sherri Inscho, on behalf of their daughter,
Gabrielle Inscho, on September 19, 2011. In their petition, the Inschos alleged that
the flu mist vaccine which Gabrielle received on or about September 22, 2008, which
is contained in the Vaccine Injury Table (the “Table”), 42 C.F.R. §100.3(a), caused
her to develop transverse myelitis. Petitioners further allege that Gabrielle
experienced the residual effects of her injury for more than six months. Petitioners
represent that there has been no prior award or settlement of a civil action for
damages on behalf of Gabrielle as a result of her condition.



       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.

                                                  1
       Respondent denies that Gabrielle suffered transverse myelitis or any other
injury as a result of her immunization.

      Nevertheless, the parties agree to the joint stipulation, attached hereto as
“Appendix A.” The undersigned finds said stipulation reasonable and adopts it as the
decision of the Court in awarding damages, on the terms set forth therein.

      Damages awarded in that stipulation include:

      a. A lump sum of $829,128.65, which amount represents compensation for
         first year life care expenses ($342,560.65) and trust seed funds
         ($486,568.00), in the form of a check payable to Regions Bank, as
         trustee of the grantor reversionary trust established for the benefit of
         Gabrielle Inscho;

      b. A lump sum of $518,799.39, which amount represents compensation for
         partial lost future earnings ($393,799.39) and pain and suffering
         ($125,000.00), in the form of a check payable to petitioners as
         guardian(s)/conservator(s) of the estate of Gabrielle Inscho for the
         benefit of Gabrielle Inscho. No payments shall be made until
         petitioners provide respondent with documentation establishing that
         they have been appointed as the guardian(s)/conservator(s) of Gabrielle
         Inscho’s estate;

      c. A lump sum of $224,362.03, which amount represents reimbursement
         of a lien for services rendered on behalf of Gabrielle, in the form of a
         check payable jointly to petitioners and;

      d. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract described in
         paragraph 10 of the stipulation attached hereto as “Appendix A,” paid

            (the "Life Insurance Company").2

clerk is directed to enter judgment in case 11-599V according to this decision and the
attached stipulation.3
