Odilon M. Miranda v. HHS - Pneumococcal, Miller-Fisher variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (2021)

Odilon Miranda filed a petition alleging that a pneumococcal vaccine received on August 28, 2017, caused him to develop the Miller-Fisher variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The petition was filed on February 6, 2019.

After initial filings and the exchange of expert reports, the petitioner's counsel moved to withdraw due to irreconcilable differences and an inability to contact the petitioner. The court ordered the petitioner to file an affidavit indicating his interest in continuing the case, but he failed to do so despite multiple attempts by his counsel to reach him and inform him of the court's order.

Consequently, the court dismissed the case on May 10, 2021, for failure to prosecute.
