CONSENT ORDER
REGARDING 406(b) FEES
By a pending Petition, counsel for Plaintiff applied for 406(b) fees in this Social Security
disability action. The petitioning attorney for Plaintiff and the attorney for Defendant have now
agreed that counsel shall be awarded 406(b) fees in the amount of $10,000.00 for Federal Courtrelated work. Counsel has fully disclosed to the attorney for Defendant that he has also been awarded
$25,000.00 in 406(a) fees for Agency-level work. The total amount of Agency-level fees under
406(a), plus the Federal Court-related fees under 406(b), is still less than 25% of the total amount
of past-due benefits which have been withheld from Plaintiff’s award ($47,363.00 in benefits were
withheld from Plaintiff’s award based on his total award of $189,455.00 in past-due benefits).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner, J. Leeds Barroll, IV, is awarded $10,000.00
in 406(b) fees, which is in addition to the $25,000.00 already awarded by the Social Security
Administration for 406(a) fees.
