under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (Dkt. No. 16). Plaintiff was
the prevailing party on an appeal of an agency action and is thus entitled to an award of attorney
fees. (See Dkt. Nos. 13–15.) Finding the requested award reasonable and just, the Court
GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), the Court AWARDS attorney fees
in the amount of $6,198.88.
If the Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to

any offset allowed under the Department’s Offset Program, then the check for attorney fees shall

amounts to counsel. The check shall be mailed to Plaintiff’s counsel at the following address:
David Oliver & Associates, 2608 South 47th Street, Suite C, Tacoma, WA 98409.
