DECISION AWARDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS1
LAURA D. MILLMAN, Special Master.
On August 12, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation of fact in which they agreed on an appropriate amount for attorneys' fees and costs in this case.
In accordance with the General Order #9 requirement, petitioner asserts that she did not incur any costs in pursuit of her petition. Petitioner submitted her request for attorneys' fees and costs to respondent. During informal discussions, respondent raised objections to certain items in petitioner's application. Based on these objections, petitioner amends her application for attorneys' fees and costs to $8,000.00. Respondent does not object to this amount. The undersigned finds this amount to be reasonable. Accordingly, the court awards $8,000.00, representing reimbursement for attorneys' fees and costs. The award shall be in the form of a check payable jointly to petitioner and Maglio, Christopher & Toale, P.A., in the amount of $8,000.00.
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.
STIPULATION OF FACT CONCERNING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS
It is hereby stipulated by and between the parties, the following factual matters:
1. Isaiah Kalinowski is the attorney of record for petitioner in this matter.
2. Petitioner submitted an informal request for attorneys' fees and costs on August 11, 2014.
3. In informal discussions, respondent raised objections to certain items in petitioner's request. Based on these discussions, petitioner has amended her request for attorneys' fees and costs in this matter to request reimbursement for attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $8,000.00.
4. Pursuant to General Order #9, petitioner advanced no monies in reimbursable costs in pursuit of her claim.
5. The parties now request that a decision awarding final attorneys' fees and costs, totaling $8,000.00, be issued.
