ORDER

This Social Security appeal is before the court on the report and
recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley [Doc. 25].
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 $3,424.36, plus the filing fee of $350. 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. 22] is GRANTED, whereby plaintiff
is awarded attorney fees of $3,424.36, plus the filing fee of $350.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
