Pursuant to U.S.C. § 406(b), reasonable fees in the amount of $24,000.88 are hereby

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

EAJA fees of $9,819.71, to be paid by the government, and not out of Nisbet’s benefits. When

18

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

balance remaining of the $24,000.88 attorney fees hereby ordered, by check payable to Ms.
Meserow in the amount of $14,181.17. Any withheld amount then remaining from Plaintiff’s
awarded benefits should be released to Plaintiff by Defendant as soon as practicable.
