Mark Deneen v. HHS - death (2014)

This case involves the estate of Mark Deneen, represented by Barbara Keil as Personal Representative. On March 2, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation of fact regarding attorneys' fees and costs.

Petitioner's counsel, Isaiah R. Kalinowski of Washington, D.C., initially submitted a request, to which respondent's counsel, Justine E.

Walters of Washington, D.C., raised objections during informal discussions. Following these discussions, petitioner amended her application to request a total of $34,440.73.

Respondent did not object to this revised amount. Special Master Laura D.

Millman found the amount to be reasonable and awarded $30,260.49 for petitioner's Vaccine Program counsel, Maglio, Christopher, & Toale, P.A., payable jointly to petitioner and the firm. An additional $3,694.24 was awarded for attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Estate attorneys, Tarrant & Liska, P.L.L.C., also payable jointly to petitioner and the firm.

Furthermore, $486.00 was awarded for costs incurred by Mr. Magio Madjerec to arrange for the creation of the estate, payable to petitioner as the legal representative.

Petitioner agreed to reimburse Mr. Madjerec this amount.

The decision directs the clerk to enter judgment unless a motion for review is filed. The specific vaccine(s) administered, the date(s) of vaccination, the alleged injury or condition, and the specific facts leading to the death of Mark Deneen are not detailed in this decision, which focuses solely on the stipulation and award of attorneys' fees and costs.

The Special Master's decision was issued on March 2, 2015.
