ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S UNOPPOSED
PETITION FOR ATTORNEY FEE
DUGAN, District Judge:
This cause comes before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion for attorney’s fees
(Doc. 32). Petitioner filed his petition for attorney’s fees pursuant to § 206(b)(1) of the
Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1), on February 18, 2022. Defendant is not
opposed to the fee (Doc. 36).
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the relief requested in the petition seeking
an attorney fee of $10,475.05 pursuant to the Social Security Act is GRANTED (Doc.
32). The Court ORDERS that payment by the Commissioner in the amount of
$4,075.05, which represents the balance after the Equal Access to Justice (“EAJA”) offset
in amount of $6,400.00 is subtracted, be paid directly to attorney David Sutterfield. This

amount shall be in addition to the $800.50 of benefits previously paid to attorney David
Sutterfield by the Social Security Commission.
SO ORDERED.
