ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Application for Attorney Fees. (Doc. 19.) Pursuant to the
EAJA, Plaintiff requests an award of attorney fees in the amount of $7,916.12. The parties have
since agreed to an award of fees in the amount of $7,000.00. (Doc. 21.) Upon review, the Court
finds that Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorney fees under the EAJA, and the agreed amount
is reasonable. Also, per Plaintiff’s Affidavit, the award may be made payable to Roger M. Driskill.
(Doc. 19-2.)
It is therefore ORDERED that
1. The Application for Attorney Fees is GRANTED per the parties’ agreement;
and
2. An award of attorney fees in the amount of $7,000.00 shall be paid by the Social
Security Administration, subject to offset to satisfy any pre-existing debt
Plaintiff may owe to the United States.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
