OPINION
MOODY R. TIDWELL, III, Judge.
This matter is before the court on petitioners’ motion for review of the Special Master’s decision to deny an evidentiary hearing and his decision to dismiss the petition brought under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-l to -34 (1994 & Supp. I 1995). For the reasons set forth below, the court holds that neither the special master’s denial of an evidentiary hearing nor the decision to dismiss the petition was arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion, and both decisions are therefore affirmed.
