Case No. 1:15CV129 CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to
the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. ' 2412. Plaintiff seeks fees in the
amount of $4,765.20. Defendant does not object to the request for fees.
On July 8, 2016, I reversed the decision of the Commissioner and remanded
the case to the Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. ' 405(g) for further
consideration. Because plaintiff prevailed and is not otherwise precluded from
recovering attorney’s fees, I find plaintiff1 is entitled to an award in the amount
requested.
Accordingly,
1

The fees are payable to plaintiff, not plaintiff=s attorney. See Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S.
586 (2010).

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees
[#31] is granted, and defendant Social Security Administration shall pay plaintiff
$4,765.20 in attorney’s fees.
