ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO AMEND

This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Amend
(ECF No. 28) the Court’s March 31, 2014 Order granting Plaintiff’s Unopposed
Application for Attorney’s Fees Under the Equal Access to Justice Act, filed March 26,
2014 (ECF No. 27). The Court’s March 31, 2014 Order awarded attorney’s fees to
Plaintiff’s counsel, Ruth K. Irvin. (ECF No. 27 at 1.) In the instant Motion, the parties

as follows:
The Unopposed Motion to Amend (ECF No. 28) is GRANTED. The Court’s
March 31, 2014 Order granting Plaintiff’s Unopposed Application for Attorney’s Fees
under the Equal Access to Justice Act is AMENDED to state that Plaintiff is awarded
attorney’s fees in the amount of $3,160.00 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412.

Dated this 3rd day of April, 2014.
