          UNPUBLISHED DECISION DENYING COMPENSATION 1

       On February 27, 2017, Ms. Millender filed a petition under the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, 42 U.S.C. §300a-10 et. seq., alleging that her son
suffered from urticaria as a result of vaccines he received on October 26, 2015.
Ms. Millender has not been heard from since March 20, 2018, ignoring numerous
orders, including an order to show cause for why her case should not be dismissed.
Accordingly, her case is dismissed for failure to prosecute her claim.
