Acting Commissioner, Social
Security Administration,
Defendant.

§ 406(b) for his work in representing plaintiff Natalie Rossow in this action. Plaintiff’s
counsel has already received $5,555.75 in fees under the EAJA. He is now seeking
$8,090.50, which represents the remaining amount due under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b).
Defendant Commissioner has not opposed the motion. In the absence of any objection and
because the fee request is well justified, I will grant the motion.
Plaintiff Natalie Rossow has assigned the payment of the fees and costs to Traver.
They are to be paid to Traver if defendant determines that there are no prior debts owed to
the government by plaintiff.
