CASE NO. C18-5219-JCC

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ stipulated motion for attorney fees

16 under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (Dkt. No. 22). Plaintiff
17 prevailed on an appeal of an agency action and is thus entitled to an award of attorney fees. (See
18 Dkt. Nos. 20, 21.) Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the parties’ stipulated motion (Dkt. No. 22).
19 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), the Court AWARDS attorney fees in the amount of $1,899.02.
20

If the Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff’s EAJA fees are not subject to

21 any offset allowed under the Department’s Offset Program, then the check for attorney fees shall
22 be made payable to Plaintiff’s attorney, Kevin Kerr, based upon Plaintiff’s assignment of these
23 amounts to counsel. Regardless of any offset, the check shall be mailed to Kevin Kerr at the
24 following address: P.O. Box 14490, Portland, OR 97293.
