ORDER
The plaintiff moves (Doc. 22) unopposed for an attorney’s fee. An August 31,
2015 order (Doc. 23) refers the motion for a report and recommendation. Without
an objection by either party, the magistrate judge recommends (Doc. 24) granting the
motion and awarding $6,304.80 in attorney’s fees and $12.00 in paralegal fees to the
plaintiff’s counsel if the plaintiff is not indebted to the Department of the Treasury.
The report and recommendation (Doc. 24) is ADOPTED. The plaintiff’s motion for
an attorney’s fee (Doc. 22) is GRANTED. The clerk is directed to enter a judgment
awarding the plaintiff $6,304.80 in attorney’s fees and $12.00 in paralegal fees against
the defendant. Unless the Department of Treasury determines that the plaintiff owes
a federal debt, the defendant must pay the fees and costs to the plaintiff’s counsel in
accord with the plaintiff’s assignment of fees.
