In this case under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, ^[1] I issued an Order Concluding Proceedings on August 9, 2016. On September 29, 2016, Petitioner filed an application for attorneys’ fees and costs in this matter. Petitioner’s counsel requested a total payment of $9,835.00, representing attorneys’ fees of $8,135.00, attorneys’ costs of $1,300.00, and $400.00 of costs expended by Petitioner. The application indicates that Petitioner’s counsel has conferred with Respondent’s counsel, and represents that Respondent has no objection to the amounts requested by Petitioner.

I find that this Petition was filed and pursued in good faith and with a reasonable basis. Thus, an award for fees and costs is appropriate at this time, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(b) and (e)(1). Further, the proposed amounts seem reasonable and appropriate. Accordingly, I hereby award the following attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(b) and (e)(1):

*2 • a lump sum of $9,435.00, in the form of a check payable jointly to Petitioner

and Petitioner’s counsel, David P. Murphy, on account of services performed by counsel’s law firm.

• a lump sum of $400.00, in the form of a check payable to Petitioner, which

represents Petitioner’s own litigation expenses in this case. In the absence of a timely-filed motion for review filed pursuant to Appendix B of the Rules of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the clerk of the court shall enter judgment in accordance herewith. ^[2]

IT IS SO ORDERED
