The public dismissal decision does not provide a medical narrative, onset date, treatment history, expert theory, or damages evidence.\n\nThe procedural record drove the outcome. The case began in pre-assignment review and was later assigned to the Special Processing Unit. Mr. Brown received multiple extensions to provide records needed for medical review, including vaccination records, primary-care records, and post-vaccination treatment records. After additional status reports and a conference, he was ordered to refile certain exhibits and provide missing records by July 28, 2025; that deadline was enlarged to August 27, 2025.\n\nOn September 15, 2025, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued an order to show cause warning that the claim would be dismissed unless Mr. Brown responded by October 3, 2025. Mr. Brown did not file additional documents or explain the failure to comply. On October 22, 2025, the case was dismissed for failure to prosecute and for insufficient evidence. No vaccine-injury compensation was awarded.","is_minor_inferred":1,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
