Joshua Jason Holliday v. HHS - autism spectrum disorder (2014)

Joshua Jason Holliday, a minor, was the subject of a petition filed by his parents, Terri and Michael Holliday, alleging that he had an autism spectrum disorder caused by one or more vaccines. The petition was filed on March 7, 2014, as part of the Omnibus Autism Program.

After initial filings and several extensions, the petitioners' counsel reviewed Joshua's medical records and determined there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate entitlement to compensation. Consequently, the petitioners moved for a voluntary dismissal of their claim on April 29, 2013, which was granted.

Following the dismissal, the petitioners' counsel filed a motion for attorneys' fees and costs. The court awarded $8,928.40 in attorneys' fees and costs, finding the amount reasonable despite some issues with block billing and documentation for personal costs.
