petitioner’s application. Based on these objections, petitioner amends her application for final
attorneys’ fees and costs to $11,600.00. Respondent does not object to this amount. The
undersigned finds this amount to be reasonable. Accordingly, the court awards $11,600.00,
representing reimbursement for final attorneys’ fees and costs. The award shall be in the form of
a check payable jointly to petitioner and Conway, Homer & Chin-Caplan, P.C. in the amount of
$11,600.00.

        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.
