20

amount of $6,755.11, and expenses totaling $23.38. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1920, the Court

21

AWARDS costs in the amount of $6.30.

22

Subject to any offset allowed under the Department of Treasury Offset Program, payment

23

of this award shall be made payable to Robey Namba, P.S., based upon Plaintiff’s assignment of

24

these amounts to counsel. (See Dkt. No. 20-1.) Whether the check is made payable to Plaintiff or

25
