his current disabilities are the result of a vaccine-related injury.

damages, on the terms set forth therein.

       The parties stipulate that petitioner shall receive the following compensation:

      A lump sum of $89,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioners, Michael and
Lisa Robinson, as guardians/conservators of the estate of D.R.; and

      A lump sum of $11,000.00 for past unreimbursable expenses in the form of a check
payable to petitioners, Michael and Lisa Robinson.

       This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under 42
U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). Stipulation dated August 9, 2016 (ECF No. 31) at ¶ 8.

      The undersigned approves the requested amount for petitioners’ compensation.
Accordingly, an award should be made consistent with the stipulation.

       In the absence of a motion for review filed pursuant to RCFC Appendix B, the Clerk of
Court SHALL ENTER JUDGMENT in accordance with the terms of the parties’ stipulation.3


       IT IS SO ORDERED.
