ORDER CONCLUDING PROCEEDINGS1
On August 17, 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
filed a request for filing fee refund stating 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). The Clerk is
further instructed to refund Petitioner’s $400 filing fee.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
