IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
PEGGY SUE ALEXANDER,
Plaintiff,
CASE NO. 12-C-900
v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
ORDER

This matter comes before the Court on the parties' Stipulation for Award under the ·
Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412.
And the Court, having read the Stipulation and being duly advised, hereby orders
that: Plaintiff be awarded $5,000.00 in attorney fees and expenses under 28 U.S. C. § 2412.
This award will satisfy all Plaintiff's claims for fees, expenses, and costs under 28 U.S.C. §
2412. After the court enters this award, if counsel for the Defendant can verify that Plaintiff
owes no pre-existing debt subject to offset, the Defendant will direct that the award be
made payable to Plaintiff's attorney pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly signed by
Plaintiff and counsel. If Plaintiff owes a pre-existing debt subject to offset in an amount less
than the EAJA award, the Social Security Administration will instruct the U.S. Department
of Treasury that any check for the remainder after offset will be made payable to Plaintiff
and mailed to the business address of Plaintiff's attorney
