UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Chief Judge Wiley Y. Daniel Civil Action No. 08-cv-01243-WYD VALERIE YBARRA, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant. __________________________________________________________________ ORDER __________________________________________________________________ THIS MATTER is before the Court in connection with connection with the Stipulated Motion for Award of Attorney Fees Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (filed January 14, 2010 and signed by both parties). Defendant asserts in the motion that it received Plaintiff's request for attorney fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA") and that it agrees that Plaintiff should be awarded fees in the amount of $3,382.19, subject to approval of the Court. Having reviewed the motion, I find that an award of fees under the EAJA is proper and that the stipulated motion should be granted. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Stipulated Motion for Award of Attorney Fees Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (Doc. # 26) is GRANTED. Attorney's fees in the amount of $3,382.19 are awarded and shall be made payable to Plaintiff and sent to Plaintiff's counsel's address.
