ORDER

This matter comes before the Court on joint motion of the parties for an award of
attorney's fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412, in the
amount of $4,400.00. (Dkt. No. 29). The Court has reviewed the joint motion and finds that the
stipulated amount by the parties is reasonable and authorized under applicable law. Gisbrecht v.
Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789 (2002). Therefore, the Court hereby grants an EAJA award to Plaintiff
in the amount of $4,400.00. This award is subject to the Treasury Offset Program, 31 U.S.c. §
3716(c)(1 )(B). In the event Plaintiff has no present debt subject to offset and Plaintiff has
executed a proper assignment to her counsel, Defendant is directed to make the payment due
herein to Plaintiffs counsel. If Plaintiff has no present debt subject to offset and no proper
assignment has been made by Plaintiff to her counsel, Defendant is directed to make the check
due pursuant to this Order payable to Plaintiff and to deliver the check to Plaintiff s counsel.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
