Danielle Strait, Maglio Christopher and Toale, PA, Washington, D.C., for
Petitioner;
Justine Walters, U.S. Dep’t of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

                             UNPUBLISHED DECISION1

       On February 1, 2016, respondent filed the parties’ joint stipulation
concerning the petition for compensation filed by John N. Kump on August 14,
2013. Petitioner alleges the influenza (“flu”) vaccine, which is contained in the
Vaccine Injury Table (the “Table”), 42 C.F.R. §100.3(a), and which John Kump
received on September 30, 2010, caused him to develop chronic inflammatory
demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). Petitioner represents that there has been
no prior award or settlement of a civil action for damages on his behalf as a result
of his condition.



       1
         The E-Government Act, 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012) (Federal Management and
Promotion of Electronic Government Services), 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.
       Respondent denies that the vaccination caused petitioner’s CIDP or any
other injury or condition.

      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 lump sum payment of $330,000.00 in the form of a check payable to
        petitioner, John N. Kump. This amount represents compensation for all
        damages that would be available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a).

       In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC, Appendix B,
the clerk is directed to enter judgment in case 13-579V according to this decision
and the attached stipulation.2

        Any questions may be directed to my law clerk, Dan Hoffman, at (202) 357-
6360.

        IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                                     s/Christian J. Moran
                                                     Christian J. Moran
                                                     Special Master




        2
          Pursuant to Vaccine Rule 11(a), the parties can expedite entry of judgment by each
party filing a notice renouncing the right to seek review by a United States Court of Federal
Claims judge.
