ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Stipulation for an Award of Attorney’s
Fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”) (Doc. 14). The parties have stipulated and
petitioned the Court to enter an order awarding fees $1,485 in fees and $0 for
costs, for a total award of $1,485 in full satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims plaintiff
may have under the EAJA. This award of fees and costs will satisfy all of plaintiff’s claims for
fees, costs, and expenses udcer 28 U.S.C. § 2412 in this case. Any fees paid belong to plaintiff, not
her attorney, and can be offset to satisfy pre-existing debt that the litigant owes the United States
under Astrue v Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). Plaintiff and defendant jointly move that the Court
award plaintiff $1,485 in full satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims under the EAJA.
The Court GRANTS the parties’ Joint Stipulation to Award Attorney Fees under the EAJA.
Plaintiff is awarded $1,485 in fees and $0 for costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
