Plaintiff,
v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Defendant.

No. 4:15-cv-00129-AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees in the
amount of $1,548.41, pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).
Plaintiff is the prevailing party in his action challenging the Commissioner of Social
Security’s denial of his application for child’s Supplemental Security Income. Plaintiff’s
request for fees is supported by appropriate documentation, and the Commissioner states
that she does not object to the amount of fees sought. As the Commissioner correctly
points out, however, the fees must be paid directly to Plaintiff, pursuant to Astrue v.
Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s application for attorney’s fees is
GRANTED in the amount of $1,548.41, payable directly to Plaintiff. (Doc. No. 32.)
