Description

Melissa Hines (now known as Melissa Hines Sevier, herein "Sevier"), on behalf of her minor daughter, Amber Sevier, appeals the judgment of the United States Claims Court denying her compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (Vaccine Program), established pursuant to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Vaccine Act), 42 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 300aa-1 through 300aa-34 (1988 & Supp. I 1989), for injuries allegedly caused by the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Hines v. Secretary of the Dept of Health and Human Servs., 21 Cl. Ct. 634 (1990). Because the Claims Court correctly concluded that the special masters decision, finding that Sevier did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that her daughters loss of hearing was caused by the MMR vaccine, was not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law, we affirm.
