ORDER
Plaintiff has moved the court for an award of attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice
Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C., §2412(d). The Commissioner objected to the amount claimed by Plaintiff.
Consequently, this case was referred to the United States Magistrate Judge for a Report and
Recommendation. The United States Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation
(Dkt.# 28) recommending that Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney Fees and Supplemental Motion for
Attorney Fees be granted, and that $4,857.60 be awarded to the Plaintiff’s attorneys. Defendant has
not filed an objection to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation within the time
prescribed by law. 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a).
This Court finds the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Dkt.# 28), is
supported by the record. Therefore, upon full consideration of the entire record and the issues
presented herein, this Court finds and orders that the Report and Recommendation entered by the
United States Magistrate Judge be AFFIRMED and ADOPTED by this Court as its Findings and
Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 12th day of July, 2018.
