ORDER

This matter is before the court for consideration of the report and
recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley on June 11,
2014 [doc. 19].

Magistrate Judge Shirley recommended that plaintiff’s petition for

attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412 [doc.
15] be granted.

There have been no timely objections filed to this report and

recommendation, and enough time has passed since the filing of the report and
recommendation to treat any objections as having been waived.

See 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). The Commissioner has submitted a response stating that
she does not oppose the payment of the attorney’s fees [doc. 18].
After a careful review of this matter, the court is in complete agreement
with the magistrate judge’s recommendation.

The court therefore ACCEPTS IN

WHOLE the report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ.
P. 72(b). It is ORDERED for the reasons stated in the report and recommendation,

which the court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that plaintiff’s motion for
attorney’s fees pursuant to the EAJA is GRANTED. Plaintiff is awarded One Thousand
Four Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($1,475.00) for attorney’s fees, Three Hundred Fifty
Dollars ($350.00) in costs, and Eighteen Dollars and Ninety Three Cents ($18.93) for
expenses.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
