                   ORDER CONCLUDING PROCEEDINGS

       On February 5, 2020, petitioners filed a petition under the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to -34, as amended, alleging
that the human papillomavirus (“HPV”) vaccine their daughter Anjalie received on
February 3, 2016, caused her death due to pulmonary embolism and subsequent
cardiac arrest, anoxic brain injury, and brain herniation. See Pet. ¶ 7.

      On June 23, 2021, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal stating,
“The parties hereby stipulate pursuant to Vaccine Rule 21(a) that this action shall
be dismissed.” J. Stip. ¶ 2.

      Under Vaccine Rule 21(a)(1), petitioners may engage in a voluntary
dismissal by filing a stipulation of dismissal which all parties have signed, which
the parties here have done.
       Under Vaccine Rule 21(a)(3), the result of this voluntary dismissal is an
Order Concluding Proceedings. No judgment will enter pursuant to Vaccine Rule
11 for purposes of 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-21(a).

      Thus, this case is DISMISSED. The Clerk is directed to remove this
case from the docket of the undersigned.

      IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                            s/Christian J. Moran
