Defendant.
Pursuant to U.S.C. § 406(b), reasonable fees in the amount of $21,807.25 are hereby

15

awarded to Plaintiff’s attorney, Nancy J. Meserow. Previously this Court awarded Plaintiff

16

EAJA fees of $9,220.10, to be paid by the government, and not out of Craig’s benefits. When

17

issuing the 406(b) fee check to Ms. Meserow, the Agency is therefore directed to subtract the

18

amount actually paid as EAJA fees, which totals $9,220.10, and send to Ms. Meserow the

19
20

balance remaining of the $21,807.25 attorney fees hereby ordered, by check payable to Ms.
Meserow in the amount of $12,587.15. Any withheld amount then remaining from Plaintiff’s

21
awarded benefits should be released to Plaintiff by Defendant as soon as practicable.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14 day of August 2018.
