Defendant.

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ stipulated motion for attorney fees

15

16 under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Dkt. No. 15). Plaintiff
17 prevailed on an appeal of an agency action and is thus entitled to an award of attorney fees. (See
18 Dkt. Nos. 13, 14.) Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the parties’ stipulated motion (Dkt. No. 15).
19 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), the Court AWARDS attorney fees in the amount of $5,876.87.
If the Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to

20

21 any offset allowed under the Department’s Offset Program, then the check for attorney fees shall
22 be made payable to Dellert Baird Law Offices, PLLC, based upon Plaintiff’s assignment of these
23 amounts to counsel. Regardless of any offset, the check shall be mailed to Christopher Dellert at
24 the following address: Dellert Baird Law Offices, PLLC, P.O. Box 97301, Lakewood, WA
25 98497.
