UNDER THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT
The parties’ Stipulation for Allowance of Fees Under the
Equal Access to Justice Act [Doc. #13] is hereby SO ORDERED,
such that attorney’s fees are awarded to the plaintiff in the
amount of $3,788.12 (three thousand seven hundred and eightyeight dollars and twelve cents) under the Equal Access to
Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. §2412, in full and final
satisfaction (upon payment) of any and all claims under the
EAJA.
The parties stipulate and agree that, if, subsequent to the
entry of the EAJA order, the Commissioner determines that the
plaintiff owes no debt to the government that would subject this
award of attorney’s fees to offset, the Commissioner may honor
the plaintiff’s October 20, 2015, signed assignment of EAJA fees

and pay EAJA fees directly to plaintiff’s counsel.
This is not a Recommended Ruling. The parties consented to
the entry of a final order and judgment by a Magistrate Judge on
October 16, 2015. [Doc. #9].
SO ORDERED at New Haven this 28th day of October 2015.
