IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No.: 1:14-v-02337-CMA
DONNA KAYE FREIDENBERGER,
Plaintiff,
vs.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED FEES UNDER THE EQUAL ACCESS
TO JUSTICE ACT
The parties’ stipulation regarding attorney fees under the Equal Access to
Justice Act, submitted on July 20, 2015 (Doc. #24), is APPROVED as an Order of
the Court. In consideration thereof, it is
ORDERED that the Defendant shall pay to the Plaintiff reasonable attorney
fees in the amount of $6,750.00. As stipulated, the EAJA award is without
prejudice to Plaintiff’s attorney’s right to seek fees under section 206(b) of the
Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §406(b) subject to EAJA’s offset provisions. See 28
U.S.C. §2412(c)(1) (2006).
Payment of this amount shall constitute a complete release from and bar to
any and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees in connection with this

1

action. This award shall not be used as precedent in any future cases, nor be
construed as a concession by the Commissioner that the original administrative
decision denying benefits to Plaintiff was not substantially justified.
The EAJA fees shall be paid by a check made out to Plaintiff but delivered
to Plaintiff’s attorney.
DATED: April 18, 2016
BY THE COURT:
