Michelle Hamman v. HHS - other (2014)

Michelle Hamman filed a petition for vaccine injury compensation. On October 24, 2013, the parties stipulated to an appropriate amount for attorneys' fees and costs.

On October 25, 2013, the court awarded petitioner $60,000.00 in attorneys' fees and costs, with judgment entered on January 14, 2014. Subsequently, on July 1, 2014, the parties filed a joint motion to amend the judgment.

It was discovered that petitioner's counsel had been overpaid by $2,343.47 due to an error in calculating litigation costs for medical records. The parties requested that the Clerk issue judgment directing petitioner's counsel to repay this amount to the Department of Health and Human Services.

The court granted this request and directed the clerk to enter an additional judgment in favor of respondent in the amount of $2,343.47.
