ORDER CONCLUDING PROCEEDINGS1
On February 28, 2025, Marina Goncharova filed a petition for compensation the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa—10 through 34.2
Petitioner alleged that she suffered injuries after receiving human papillomavirus
vaccinations on April 18, 2023, June 19, 2023, and November 29, 2023. ECF No. 1.
Because a decision had not been issued within the time specified in Vaccine
Rule 10(b), a notice issued advising that “that the petitioner may withdraw the petition
under section 300aa—21(b) of this title or the petitioner may choose under section
300aa—21(b) of this title to have the petition remain before the special master.” 42
U.S.C. § 300aa—12(g). On October 27, 2025, Petitioner timely filed a notice to withdraw
the petition pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa—21(b).
In light of Petitioner’s election to withdraw the petition pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
300aa—21(b) (promulgated as Vaccine Rule 10(d)), Petitioner’s request to withdraw the
petition is GRANTED. Accordingly, this Order hereby notifies the Clerk of Court that
proceedings “on the merits” of this petition are now concluded, but no judgment
“on the merits” should be entered by the Clerk’s Office.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
