ORDER
By: Hon. Jackson L. Kiser
Senior United States District Judge

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Tara Mia Bradley’s Motion for Attorneys’
Fees Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 [ECF No. 26] (“the
Motion”). I referred the Motion to the Magistrate Judge for consideration, and he filed a Report
and Recommendation [ECF No. 29] (“R&R”), recommending that I grant the Motion. The R&R
was filed on June 8, 2018, and the parties has fourteen (14) days to file objections. None were
filed. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the R&R shall be, and hereby is,
ADOPTED in its entirety, and the Motion is hereby GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that
Plaintiff, Tara Mia Bradley, is awarded attorneys’ fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act in
amount of $6,928.33, and expenses in the amount of $22.79.
These attorneys’ fees and expenses will be paid directly to Plaintiff, Tara Mia Bradley,
and sent to the business address of Plaintiff’s counsel, Howard D. Olinsky, Esq. Full or partial
remittance of the awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses will be contingent upon a determination
by the Government that Plaintiff owes no qualifying, pre-existing debt(s) to the Government. If
such debt(s) exists, the Government will reduce the awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses in this
Order to the extent necessary to satisfy such debt(s).

The clerk is instructed to forward a copy of this Order to all counsel of record.
ENTERED this 26th day of July, 2018.
