Plaintiff Marcider O. Wigfall brought this action to obtain judicial review of a final decision
of Defendant Commissioner of Social Security denying Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance
benefits and supplemental security income. By order filed May 19, 2017, the court reversed the
decision of the Commissioner and remanded the cause under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
for further proceedings.
This matter now is before the court on Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412, which motion was filed August 14, 2017. Counsel
moves for attorneys’ fees in the amount of $4,302.38 and $16.00 in expenses. On August 23, 2017,
the Commissioner filed a response indicating that she does not object to the fees and expenses sought
by Plaintiff. Accordingly,
Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees under the EAJA (ECF No. 29) is granted in the amount
of $4,318.38 ($4,302.38 + 16.00) to be paid in accordance with the Commissioner’s procedures set
forth in her response.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
