AI-assisted case summary:
Beth Taylor, on behalf of K.S., a minor, filed a petition for vaccine injury compensation on May 30, 2017. The case progressed to a status report filed on March 24, 2017, where the petitioner requested dismissal. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had not filed a report in the case. Consequently, Special Master Christian J. Moran issued an order on June 28, 2017, dismissing the case without prejudice. The Clerk was instructed not to enter judgment. The order noted that if the petitioner filed a motion for attorneys' fees and costs, subject matter jurisdiction would need to be established, and the Secretary's prior motion to dismiss would be considered at that time.

ORDER CONCLUDING PROCEEDINGS1
In a status report filed on March 24, 2017, the petitioner requested that her case be
dismissed pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a)(1)(A). As the petitioner pointed out, the Secretary has
not filed a report in this case.
Accordingly, the following is ORDERED:
1. The case is dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is instructed that a
judgment shall not enter pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(c).
2. If the petitioner files a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs, the petitioner must
establish subject matter jurisdiction. At that time, the issues raised in the Secretary’s
April 24, 2017 motion to dismiss will be considered.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
