MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Came on for consideration the report of the United States Magistrate Judge in this action,
this matter having been heretofore referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636.
On March 12, 2020, the report of the Magistrate Judge (Dkt. #28) was entered containing proposed
findings of fact and recommendations that Plaintiff’s post-judgment Application for Attorney Fees
under the Equal Access to Justice Act (Dkt. #24) be granted.
Having received the report of the Magistrate Judge, and no objections thereto having been
timely filed, the Court is of the opinion that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge
are correct and adopts the Magistrate Judge’s report as the findings and conclusions of the Court.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Application for Attorney Fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act (Dkt. #24) is GRANTED, and the Commissioner is directed to pay twelve
thousand seven hundred ninety-eight dollars and seventeen cents ($12,798.17) as reasonable
attorney fees and costs, made payable to Plaintiff, with such payment to be mailed to Plaintiff’s
counsel.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
