ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff William Reynolds’s (“Plaintiff”) motion for attorney’s fees
under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Court File No. 21), to which the Social
Security Commissioner (“Defendant”) responded (Court File No. 24). On March 10, 2014, United
States Magistrate Judge William B. Mitchell Carter filed a report and recommendation (“R&R”) in
this case, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) (Court File No. 25). In the R&R,
Judge Carter recommended Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees be granted and Plaintiff’s attorney
be awarded $2,602.18 in attorney’s and paralegal fees plus $350.00 in filing fees for a total of
$2,952.18. Neither party has objected to the R&R within the given 14 days.
After reviewing the record, this Court agrees with, and hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS,
the R&R (Court File No. 25). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s
fees (Court File No. 21) and AWARDS Plaintiff a total amount of $2,952.18 to be paid in a manner
consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 2412.
SO ORDERED.
