JONESBORO DIVISION

EDWIN H. SEE, SR.
PLAINTIFF

v.

NO. 3:16-cv-00003 PSH

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner
of the Social Security Administration

DEFENDANT

ORDER

Plaintiff Edwin H. See, Sr., (“See”) has filed the pending motion for an award of
attorney’s fees and other expenses under the provisions of the Equal Access to Justice
Act. See Document 23. In the motion, he seeks fees and expenses totaling $3,159.62. The
Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration has no objection to the amount
of fees and expenses requested by See.
The Court has reviewed See’s motion and finds nothing unreasonable about the
hours of work performed, the hourly rate requested, or the amount of expenses
requested. The motion is granted, and fees and expenses totaling $3,159.62 are awarded
to See. Because the award belongs to See, and not his attorney, see Astrue v. Ratliff, —
U.S. —, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 177 L.E.2d 91 (2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue

payment of this award by check made payable to See, in care of his attorney, Stephanie
Bartels Wallace (“Wallace”), and shall mail the check to Wallace at her Jonesboro,
Arkansas, address.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of December, 2016.
