(Chief Judge Conner)

ORDER
AND NOW, this 11th day of April, 2017, upon consideration of the
plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees (Doc. 16), and the Acting Commissioner’s
response thereto, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff Gerald J. Baron is awarded
Three Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-three dollars ($3283.00) in attorney fees
under the EAJA and Four Hundred dollars ($400.00) in costs. These attorney fees
will be paid directly to plaintiff, Gerald J. Baron, and sent to the business address of
plaintiff’s counsel, Beth Arnold, Esquire. Full or partial remittance of the awarded
attorney fees will be contingent upon a determination by the government that
plaintiff owes no qualifying, pre-existing debt(s) to the government. If such a
debt(s) exists, the government will reduce the awarded attorney fees in this Order
to the extent necessary to satisfy such debt(s).
