Case No. 4:14 CV 1706 CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff Monica Mollison filed this case on October 6, 2014, appealing the
denial of her applications for Disability Insurance Benefits. I reversed and
remanded the case for further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. '
405(g) on March 7, 2016.
Plaintiff now seeks attorney=s fees in the amount of $4,589.01, pursuant to
the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. ' 2412. Plaintiff and Defendant have
conferred and agreed that an award in the amount of $4,569.93 is appropriate.
Because plaintiff prevailed and is not otherwise precluded from recovering

attorney=s fees and costs, I find that plaintiff1 is entitled to an award in the amount
requested.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff=s motion for attorney=s fees [30]
is GRANTED, and defendant shall pay plaintiff $4,569.93 in attorney=s fees. The
payment shall be mailed directly to Plaintiff’s counsel.
