claims (of which over 4,000 were filed) were closely analyzed by myself,
other paralegals, and the attorneys in my office to determine if there had been
a medically-demonstrated vaccine-related injury by the claimant. I
subsequently assisted the attorneys in my office on litigation arising from the
Swine Flu Program.
In my 25 years with the FTCA Branch, I worked on other vaccine-related
litigation (In Re Sabin Oral Polio Products Liability Litigation, Multidistrict
Litigation No. 780, District Court for the District of Maryland). The purpose
of the work of the attorneys and paralegals in my office was to assure that
individuals who had medically-demonstrated injuries by these vaccinations
were fairly compensated, and that claims filed by individuals who did not
demonstrate a vaccine-related injury were denied.
I also assisted the attorneys in my office in evaluating claims filed by
individuals alleging personal injury due to the negligence of federal
employees (such as National Park Service employees) while those employees
were acting within the scope of their federal employment. Again, the mission
of our work was to fairly compensate individuals who had medically-
demonstrated injuries due to the negligence of federal employees, and to
protect the federal fisc from allowing claims that failed to demonstrate injuries
due to negligence of federal employees.
I am Steven Riemer and I served for the Board of Immigration Appeals for
29 years. I was an Attorney of this highest administrative appellate body in
immigration law. I reviewed the appeals of individuals from Immigration
Judges’ decisions, which ordered them deported from the United States.
Some appeals were from the Department of Homeland Security appealing
decisions which allowed the individuals to legally stay in the United States. I
wrote proposed decisions, which circulated to the Board member(s). My
proposed decisions contained precise legal analysis, and with the American
public in mind, they were written so that an unrepresented individual could
understand why we reached a particular decision.
