ORDER
This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation
entered by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton on August 16, 2012 [Doc. 38].
There have been no timely objections to the 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). In the Report and
Recommendation, the magistrate judge recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney Fees
Under Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 [Doc. 33] be granted, and that a
judgment awarding plaintiff the amount of $3,132.07 for attorneys fees be entered.
The Court has carefully reviewed this matter, including the underlying pleadings. The
Court is in agreement with the magistrate judge’s recommendation, which the Court adopts
and incorporates into its ruling. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report
and Recommendation [Doc. 38]. Additionally, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for

Attorney Fees Under Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 [Doc. 33] is GRANTED
and plaintiff is hereby AWARDED a judgment in the amount of $3,132.07 for attorneys
fees.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
