        a.      $17,652.95, representing reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and costs. The award
                shall be in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and Rawls, McNelis,
                and Mitchell, P.C. in the amount of $17,652.95; and

        b.      $350.00, representing reimbursement for petitioner’s costs. The award shall be in
                the form of a check payable to petitioner in the amount of $350.00.

        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.
