ORDER AWARDING FEES

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,

15

Defendant.

16

Marc Kalagian helped his client Xavier Little obtain about $70,000 in social security

17

benefits. Kalagian now asks for $15,000 in fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Neither Little nor

18

the Commissioner objects. Since the fee appears reasonable, and is under the statutory

19

requirement of 25%, his motion is granted. The Court awards Kalagian $15,000, directs the

20

Commissioner to certify the fee, and orders Kalagian to refund his client the $2,900 EAJA

21

award.
