ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On June 13, 2017, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court,

EAJA Attorney Fees. The time within which to file objections expired on June 28,
2017, and no objections have been filed.

The Magistrate Judge notified the

fees in the amount of $8,681.63, and other otherwise DENIED. The Supplemental
EAJA Motion is GRANTED, awarding the requested $981.18. The total EAJA fee
award is Nine Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Two Dollars and Eighty-One Cents
($9,662.81).
