AGREED ORDER GRANTING ATTORNEY’S FEES

The Court, after reviewing the file and being advised by the parties that they have agreed

Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010), the EAJA fee is payable to the Plaintiff as the litigant and
may be subject to offset to satisfy any pre-existing debt the litigant may owe to the United States.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412, Plaintiff is
granted attorney’s fees under the EAJA in the amount of $4,250.00. The check for attorney’s fees
should be made payable to Plaintiff and mailed to Plaintiff’s attorney’s address.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 8th day of October, 2019.
