ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's motion for an award of attorney's fees
under the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. (Dkt. No. 26). The parties
have jointly stipulated to an award of $3,500.00 under EAJA. (Dkt. No. 27).
The Court has reviewed the proposed stipulation, as well as the supporting underlying
documentation, and finds that the total fee 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 $3,500.00. This award is subject to the Treasury Offset Program, 31
U.S.C. § 3716(c)(I)(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 Plaintiff's 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.
