MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This Social Security appeal is before the court on the report and
recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley [Doc. 22].
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).

After a careful review of this matter, the court is in complete agreement with
the magistrate judge’s conclusion that plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, be granted, and that plaintiff be awarded attorney
fees of $3,143.37.

Accordingly, the court 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 fees under the Equal Access
to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, [Doc. 19] is GRANTED, whereby plaintiff is awarded
attorney fees of $3,143.37.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

United States District Judge
