IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their undersigned counsel,
subject to the approval of the Court, that Plaintiff shall be awarded attorney’s fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. sec. 2412(d), in the amount of FOUR THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED TEN dollars and TEN cents ($4,110.05). This amount represents compensation for all

21

legal services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in connection with this civil action, in

22

accordance with 28 U.S.C. sec. 2412(d).

23

After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff, the government will

24

consider the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff’s attorney. The

25

government’s ability to honor the assignment will depend on whether the fees and expenses are

26
27

subject to an offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury’s Offset Program
pursuant to Astrue v. Ratcliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010). After the order of EAJA fees is entered, the
government will determine if they are subject to an offset.
