ORDER

This cause is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for an Award of
Attorney’s Fees Under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”) (Doc. 27 (the
“Motion”)), filed January 4, 2024. After considering the parties’ memoranda
(Doc. 27), Magistrate Judge Leslie Hoffman Price submitted a Report
recommending that the Motion be granted in part and denied in part. (Doc. 28).
No parties have filed an objection, and the time to do so has now passed.
After an independent de novo review of the record in this matter, and noting
that no objections were timely filed, the Court agrees entirely with the findings of
fact and conclusions of law in the Report and Recommendation.
Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

The Report and Recommendation dated January 23, 2024 (Doc. 28),
is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.

2.

The Motion for an Award of Attorney’s Fees Under the EAJA (Doc. 27)
is GRANTED IN PART to the extent that Plaintiff is awarded a total
of $4,659.63 in attorneys’ fees under the EAJA.

3.

The Motion is DENIED in all other respects.

DONE AND ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on February 7, 2024.
