                DECISION AWARDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS1

       On November 10, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation of fact in which they agreed on an
appropriate amount for attorneys’ fees and costs in this case.

       Petitioner submitted her request for attorneys’ fees and costs to respondent. After
informal discussions, petitioner amends her application for attorneys’ fees and costs to
$23,755.03. This amount includes fees for both petitioner’s current counsel, Richard H. Moeller,
and petitioner’s former counsel, Sherry Kay Drew. In accordance with the General Order #9

case, the special master intends to post this unpublished decision on the United States Court of Federal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,

available to the public unless they contain trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is

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.
requirement, petitioner asserts that she advanced $1,352.66 in costs in pursuit of her petition.
Respondent does not object to these amounts. The undersigned finds these amounts to be
reasonable. Accordingly, the court awards:

            a.    $23,755.03, representing reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and costs. The
                  award shall be in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and Berenstein,
                  Moore, Heffernan, Moeller & Johnson, L.L.P. in the amount of $23,755.03; and

            b.    $1,352.66, representing reimbursement for petitioner’s costs. The award shall
                  be in the form of a check payable to petitioner in the amount of $1,352.66.

        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.
