ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
TO DENY PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ATTORNEY FEES
On April 13, 2012, United States Magistrate Judge Brian L. Owsley signed a
Memorandum and Recommendation recommending that the plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees,
(D.E. 21), be denied because the fee application was not timely filed pursuant to the Equal
Access to Justice Act. Seeing no objection to this recommendation by either party and having
now reviewed the recommendation, this Court hereby adopts as its own the Memorandum and
Recommendation as the decision of the Court. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees is denied.

SIGNED and ORDERED this 15th day of May, 2012.
