Civil Action No. 8:15-4185-MGL
ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon motion for approval of attorney’s fees pursuant to
the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). See 28 U.S.C. §2412. The parties have agreed that an
award of $2,419.14 in attorney fees under the EAJA is reasonable in this case.
Upon review of the material submitted to the court, the motion for attorney’s fees is
granted. The Commissioner shall pay the Plaintiff attorney’s fees under the EAJA in the amount
of $2,419.14.
Payment of the fees noted herein shall constitute a complete release from and bar to any
and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees in connection with this action. This
award is without prejudice to the right of Plaintiff to seek attorney fees under Section 206(b) of
the Social Security Act, subject to the offset provisions of the EAJA.
Further, the award of fees shall be made payable to the Plaintiff, but delivered to the
office of Plaintiff’s counsel. See Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586, 596-98 (2010).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
