This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s unopposed motion for attorney fees

16 (Dkt. No. 25). Finding good cause, Plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED. Pursuant to the Equal
17 Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412, Plaintiff is awarded the gross amount of
18 $10,000 in attorney fees. This amount must be reduced by $6,440.84 previously awarded to
19 Plaintiff under EAJA (Dkt. No. 24), leaving a net amount of $3,559.16. If the U.S. Department
20 of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to any offset allowed under
21 the Treasury Offset Program, as discussed in Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010), payment of
22 the award shall be made to Francisco Rodriguez, Attorney at Law, and mailed to him at P.O. Box
23 31844, Seattle, WA, 98103.
