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

16 under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Dkt. No. 16). Plaintiff
17 was the prevailing party on an appeal of an agency action and is thus entitled to an award of
18 attorney fees. (See Dkt. Nos. 13–15.) Accordingly, the Court GRANTS parties’ motion. Pursuant
19 to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), the Court AWARDS attorney fees in the amount of $4,692.29 and
20 expenses of $11.73 for a total of $4,704.02.
21

If the Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to

22 any offset allowed under the Department’s Offset Program, then the check for attorney fees shall
23 be made payable to Plaintiff’s attorney, George Andre Fields, based upon Plaintiff’s assignment
24 of these amounts to counsel.
25

The check shall be mailed to George Andre Fields, Esq. at the following address: P.O.

26 Box 231024, Sacramento, CA 95823.
