DECISION AND ORDER
This case is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion For Attorney Fees Under
Equal Access To Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Doc. 16). The Commissioner of
Social Security has not opposed the motion, and the time for her to do so has expired.
This matter is therefore ripe for review.
Upon review of the Motion For Attorney Fees, its supporting memorandum, and the
exhibits attached thereto, and noting that no objections have been filed, the Court finds that
Plaintiff is entitled to the requested award of attorney’s fees and costs in the amount
$4,279.95.
Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that:
1.
The Motion For Attorney Fees Under Equal Access to Justice Act, 28
U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Doc. 16) is GRANTED, and Defendant shall pay
Plaintiff=s attorney fees, costs, and expenses under 28 U.S.C. § 2412
in the total amount of $4,279.95;
2.
Defendant shall verify, within thirty days of this Decision and
Order, whether or not Plaintiff owes a pre-existing debt to the United
States subject to offset. If no such pre-existing debt exists,
Defendant shall direct that the award be made payable to Plaintiff’s
attorney pursuant to an EAJA assignment duly signed by Plaintiff and
counsel; and
3.
The case remains terminated on the docket of this Court.
DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio, this Thursday, February 25, 2016.
