The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit.\n\nRespondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement.

On March 25, 2025, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded $198,536.55 as a lump sum: $187,500.00 for pain and suffering, $8,435.30 for unreimbursed expenses, and $2,601.25 for lost wages.
