IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their assigned counsel,
subject to the Court’s approval, that plaintiff be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice
Act, (EAJA) in the amount of SIX THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS
($6,750.00). This amount represents compensation for all legal services counsel rendered on behalf of
Plaintiff in connection with this civil action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. section 2412(d).
This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff’s request for EAJA attorney fees
and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under EAJA. Payment of the
agreed amount shall constitute a complete release from, and bar to, any and all claims that Plaintiff may
have relating to EAJA attorney fees and expenses in connection with this action.
This award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff’s counsel to seek Social Security Act
attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406, subject to the offset provisions of the EAJA.
