Anthony Calise v. HHS - other (2014)

Anthony Calise, as Personal Representative of the Estate of the deceased Lisa Calise, filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The case progressed to a point where the parties reached a stipulation regarding attorneys' fees and costs.

On March 7, 2014, the parties filed this stipulation, agreeing on an award of $67,500.00 for attorneys' fees and costs, and $1,100.00 for petitioner's costs, totaling $68,600.00. Special Master Laura D.

Millman reviewed the stipulation and found the agreed-upon amount to be reasonable. The award was structured as a check for $67,500.00 made payable jointly to the petitioner and Conway, Homer & Chin-Caplan, P.C. for attorneys' fees and costs, and a separate check for $1,100.00 made payable to the petitioner for his costs.

The decision does not specify the vaccine(s) administered, the alleged injury, the date of vaccination, or the date of death. The public decision focuses solely on the financial resolution of the case through stipulation.

Ronald C. Homer represented the petitioner, and Michael P.

Milmoe represented the respondent. The decision was issued on March 7, 2014.
