\UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MARGARET IRACE,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 17-cv-1443-pp
NANCY BERRYHILL,
Defendant.
ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION FOR AWARD UNDER THE EQUAL
ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT (DKT. NO. 20)
On July 24, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation, asking the court to
enter an order awarding attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs. Dkt. No. 20.
The court APPROVES the stipulation for award under the EAJA. Dkt. No.
20. The court ORDERS that the defendant shall pay to the plaintiff an award of
attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $375, and costs of $400, in full
satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims the plaintiff may have in this
case under the EAJA. The court awards these fees and costs to the plaintiff,
not the plaintiff’s attorney, and under Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010),
the United States may offset the award to satisfy pre-existing debts that the
litigant owes the United States.
If counsel for the parties verify that the plaintiff owes no pre-existing debt
subject to offset, the defendant shall direct that the award be made payable to
1
the plaintiff’s attorney, pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly signed by the
plaintiff and counsel.
Dated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 24th day of July, 2018.
BY THE COURT:
