This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s request for fees under 42 U.S.C.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff is entitled to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) fees
in the amount of $10,712.00. The Social Security Administration shall pay these
fees from Plaintiff’s retroactive Social Security benefits. The court further Orders
that Plaintiff’s attorney must remit to Plaintiff the amount of $3,712.00,
representing attorney’s fees previously awarded to him under the Equal Access to
