On December 13, 2016, the parties filed a Stipulation for the Award and

19

Payment of Equal Access to Justice Act Fees, Costs, and Expenses. (Dkt. 23.)

20

See 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). On January 10, 2017, the Court issued an Order noting that

21

the Stipulation appeared to be untimely, because it was not submitted within 30 days

22

of the date on which the time to appeal the judgment expired. (Dkt. 24.) See 28

23

U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(B). It has since come to the Court’s attention that, because

24

Defendant is a United States agency, the normal time to appeal is extended by an

25

additional 30 days. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B)(i). The Stipulation is therefore

26

timely.

28

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Order entered on January 10, 2017
(Dkt. 24) is VACATED.
