Charles R. Jackson v. HHS - death (2015)

Michelle A. Cuttino, as Administratrix of the Estate of Charles R.

Jackson, Deceased, filed a petition for compensation on May 1, 2015, in the United States Court of Federal Claims, Office of Special Masters. The case proceeded as a death case.

The specific vaccine(s), vaccination date(s), and the alleged injury or cause of death were not detailed in the provided public documents. The respondent was the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

On April 17, 2015, the petitioner applied for interim attorneys' fees and costs. Following informal discussions where the respondent raised objections to certain items, the petitioner amended her application.

The parties subsequently filed a stipulation of fact on May 1, 2015, agreeing to an award for interim attorneys' fees and costs. The amended application requested $24,042.81, comprising $23,750.00 for attorneys' fees and costs, and $292.81 for the petitioner's costs, covering the period of representation through April 30, 2015.

The respondent did not object to this amount. Special Master Laura D.

Millman reviewed the stipulation and found the amount to be reasonable. The Special Master issued a decision awarding $23,750.00 in attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to the petitioner and Conway, Homer & Chin-Caplan, P.C., and $292.81 for the petitioner's costs, payable to the petitioner.

This decision was dated May 1, 2015. A subsequent decision, filed on August 31, 2015, was also issued by Special Master Laura D.

Millman, but the specific content of this decision was not detailed in the provided documents beyond its issuance date and that it was a decision of the Special Master. The case was compensated based on the stipulation for interim attorneys' fees and costs.

Petitioner's counsel was Ronald C. Homer, and respondent's counsel was Traci R.

Patton.
