ORDER AND JUDGMENT
This matter is before the Court on United States Magistrate Judge Clifton L. Corker’s
Report and Recommendation [Doc. 28]. Magistrate Judge Corker recommends the Court grant
Plaintiff’s Motion for an Award of Attorney Fee under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). [Doc. 26]. None of the
parties has timely objected to the Report and Recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.
R. Civ. P. 72(b).
After carefully reviewing the record, the Court agrees with Magistrate Judge Corker’s
recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report and Recommendation
under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). For the reasons in the
Report and Recommendation, which the Court adopts and incorporates into this Order, Plaintiff’s
motion for attorney’s fees [Doc. 26] is GRANTED. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiff’s
counsel recover from Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, the
amount of $6,425.50 in attorney’s fees, with the requirement that Plaintiff’s counsel must remit
to Plaintiff the amount of $2,400 in attorney’s fees previously received from Defendant. See
