               UNPUBLISHED DECISION ON FEES AND COSTS1

       On May 1, 2015, respondent filed a stipulation of fact concerning final
attorneys’ fees and costs in the above-captioned matter. Previously, on April 2,
2015, petitioner filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs (“application”). Upon
review of petitioner’s application, respondent raised objections to certain items.
Based on subsequent discussions, petitioner amended her application to request
$76,809.42, an amount to which respondent does not object. The Court awards
this amount.

       On October 19, 2010, Courtney Goldin filed a petition for compensation
alleging that the human papillomavirus (“HPV”) vaccine, which she received on
December 18, 2007, caused her to suffer from acute disseminated
encephalomyelitis (“ADEM”). Petitioner received compensation based upon the

          The E-Government Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-347, 116 Stat. 2899, 2913 (Dec. 17,

the parties have 14 days to file a motion proposing redaction of medical information or other

master will appear in the document posted on the website.
parties’ stipulation. Decision, issued Nov. 21, 2014. Because petitioner received
compensation, she is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(e).

       Petitioner seeks a total of $76,809.42, in attorneys’ fees and costs for her
counsel. Additionally, in compliance with General Order No. 9, petitioner states
that she incurred no out-of-pocket litigation expenses while pursuing this claim.
Respondent has no objection to the amount requested for attorneys’ fees and costs.

        After reviewing the request, the Court awards the following:

        a. $14,058.81 in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and
           petitioner’s former counsel, Lawrence R. Cohan for attorneys’ fees
           and other litigation costs available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(e);
           and

        b. $14,730.15 in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and
           petitioner’s former counsel, Anne C. Toale for attorneys’ fees and
           other litigation costs available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(e); and

        c. $48,020.46 in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and
           petitioner’s undersigned counsel, Ronald C. Homer for attorneys’
           fees and other litigation costs available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-
           15(e).

      The Court thanks the parties for their cooperative efforts in resolving this
matter. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly.

        Any questions may be directed to my law clerk, Mary Holmes, at (202) 357-
