ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On May 11, 2016, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court,
with copies to counsel, his Recommended Decision on Petition for Attorney Fees.
Objections and responses to objections were filed by both parties.

I have

reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision, together with the entire
record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the
Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the United
States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision,
and determine that no further proceeding is necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate
Judge is hereby ADOPTED. The plaintiff’s Petition for Attorney Fees is GRANTED
IN PART.

The plaintiff is awarded attorney fees of $5,701.80 and costs of $400.

SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 28TH DAY OF JUNE, 2016
/S/D. BROCK HORNBY
