UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

LISA GREGG,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-cv-766-pp

NANCY A. BERRYHILL,
Defendant.

ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION FOR AWARD UNDER THE EQUAL
ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT (DKT. NO. 27)

On June 14, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation and motion, asking the
court to enter an order awarding attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs under the
Equal Access to Justice Act. Dkt. No. 27.
The court APPROVES the stipulation and GRANTS the motion for award
under the EAJA. Dkt. No. 27. The court ORDERS that the defendant shall pay
to the plaintiff an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $8,987
($8,567 in attorney fees, filing fee of $400, and service costs of $20), 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.

1

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
the plaintiff’s attorney, pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly signed by the
plaintiff and counsel.
Dated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 19th day of June, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
