Defendant.

The parties have filed a stipulation for attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice
Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, in the amount of $4,620.31 in full satisfaction of any claim for fees and

After entry of this order, if counsel for the parties can verify that plaintiff owes no preexisting debt subject to offset, defendant will direct that the award be made payable to plaintiff’s
counsel under the EAJA assignment signed by plaintiff and his counsel.
