Oler issued an Order Concluding Proceedings on May 28, 2019, dismissing the case without prejudice. No judgment was to be entered. The public decision does not describe the clinical story, any specific symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert testimony.

Nall of Anastopoulo Law Firm, and Respondent was represented by Amy P. Kokot of the U.S. Dep’t of Justice.

Theory of causation field:
The public text for case 1:17-vv-01328-UNJ does not specify the vaccine(s) administered, the date(s) of vaccination, the petitioner's age at vaccination, or the alleged condition or injury. The case was filed on April 18, 2019, and concluded by Joint Stipulation of Dismissal on April 16, 2019, leading to a dismissal without prejudice by Special Master Katherine E. Oler on May 28, 2019. No compensation was awarded. The public text does not describe any theory of causation, medical experts, or specific evidence presented by either party. The dismissal was based on a joint stipulation of the parties, not on a determination of entitlement or causation.
