ORDER

On May 18, 2011, Counsel for the Plaintiff, Gary Fedor, filed a motion for attorney’s fees
and costs pursuant to the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §406(b). The motion seeks reimbursement
for counsel’s representation in the captioned matter in the amount of $29,384.50, which amounts to
twenty-five percent of the past-due benefits withheld by the Social Security Administration for
attorney’s fees. The defendant has indicated in his response to plaintiff’s motion that he does not
oppose plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees. The Court has reviewed Counsel’s fee petition and the
signed fee agreement that was submitted with the petition, and finds Counsel’s request for fees
reasonable. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to
the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §406(b), is granted in the amount of $29,384.50.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
