Counsel moves for attorneys’ fees in the amount of $3,187.50 and expenses in the amount of $22.25.
On March 12, 2018, the Commissioner filed a response indicating that she does not object to Plaintiff’s
request. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for fees under the EAJA (ECF No. 29) is granted in the
amount of $3,209.75 ($3,187.50 + $22.25), to be paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in
