The petition was dismissed for insufficient proof because the record did not contain evidence of a \"Table Injury\" nor did it include a medical expert's opinion or other persuasive evidence of actual causation.

The petition alleged that T.W. suffered from Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, which was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines received on June 24, 2009, September 1, 2009, and December 30, 2009. The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific medical findings, or treatments. On September 16, 2014, the Petitioner filed a Motion for a Dismissal Decision, stating that he would be unable to prove entitlement to compensation after a thorough review of the records. To receive compensation under the Vaccine Act, a petitioner must prove either a \"Table Injury\" (an injury listed in the Vaccine Injury Table corresponding to a vaccination) or that the injury was actually caused by a vaccine. The record did not contain evidence of a Table Injury. Furthermore, the record did not include a medical expert's opinion or any other persuasive evidence indicating that T.W.'s injuries were caused by a vaccination. The public decision notes that compensation cannot be awarded based solely on the petitioner's claims; it must be supported by medical records or a physician's opinion. As the medical records were insufficient and no medical opinion was offered, the petition was dismissed for insufficient proof. Special Master Lisa Hamilton-Fieldman issued the decision dismissing the petition on September 17, 2014. Subsequently, on December 9, 2014, the parties filed a Stipulation of Fact Concerning Attorneys' Fees and Costs, requesting a total payment of $16,000.00 for attorneys' fees and costs. Petitioner represented that no personal, out-of-pocket expenses were incurred. Special Master Hamilton-Fieldman found that the petition was brought in good faith with a reasonable basis and awarded the requested amount of $16,000.00, payable jointly to the Petitioner and Petitioner's counsel, Mark T. Sadaka, Esq. The clerk was ordered to enter judgment accordingly in the absence of a motion for review.","is_minor_inferred":1,"is_pediatric_broad":1,"special_master":"Lisa D.
