       On February 11, 2015, petitioners filed a stipulation of fact concerning final
attorneys’ fees and costs in the above-captioned matter. Previously, petitioners
informally submitted a draft application for attorneys’ fees and costs to respondent
for review. Upon review of petitioners’ application, respondent raised objections to
certain items. Based on subsequent discussions, petitioners amended their application
to request $38,025.87, an amount to which respondent does not object. The Court
awards this amount.

       On September 3, 2013, Eric and Naomi Boyd filed a petition for compensation
on behalf of their daughter, Janae Leann Boyd, alleging that the Trivalent influenza

stipulation. Decision, issued Feb. 5, 2015. Because petitioners received
compensation, they are entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. 42 U.S.C. §
300aa-15(e).

       Petitioners seek a total of $38,025.87 in attorneys’ fees and costs for their
counsel. Additionally, in compliance with General Order No. 9, petitioners state that
they 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 lump sum of $38,025.87 in the form of a check made payable to
        petitioners and petitioners’ attorney, Andrew D. Downing, 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-
6360.

        IT IS SO ORDERED.
