William Bartman, acting as the legal representative for the estate of Angeline Bartman, filed a petition on June 29, 2018, alleging that a Prevnar13 vaccination administered on June 17, 2015, caused Angeline Bartman's death. The petitioner later filed a motion to dismiss on June 1, 2018, stating that he did not find persuasive evidence linking the vaccination to the death.

The petitioner also indicated that no attorneys' fees or costs would be sought.
