ORDER

This matter is before the court upon motion of the Plaintiff, through his attorney, Beatrice
E. Whitten, for an award of attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C.
2412. (ECF No. 30). Plaintiff’s motion seeks reimbursement for Counsel’s representation in the
above-captioned matter in the amount of $8,570.12. However, the parties agreed to a stipulated
amount of $7,500.00 for attorney fees.
The court has reviewed Counsel’s fee petition and the signed fee agreement that was
submitted with the petition, and finds Counsel’s stipulated request for fees reasonable.
Therefore, the Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to
Justice Act in the stipulated amount of $7,500.00.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
