On January 21, 2020, Petitioner filed a Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss pursuant to
Vaccine Rule 21(a) in the above-captioned case. In support of this Motion, Petitioner
states that the petition was filed in error as a duplicate. The Vaccine Act states that
“[o]nly one petition may be filed with respect to each administration of a vaccine.” 42
U.S.C. §300aa-11(b)(2). Thus, Petitioner’s motion is GRANTED.
Accordingly, pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a), the above-captioned case is hereby
dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is hereby instructed that a
judgment shall not enter in the instant case pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
