ORDER
Based upon the stipulation of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. That Defendant will pay Plaintiff a total nine hundred four dollars and thirty-nine cents ($904.39) for legal services under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412 and one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) in costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1920. This amount represents compensation for all legal services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by her attorney in connection with this civil action in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) and bars any and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees and court costs in connection with this action.
2. That this Order will not be used as precedent in any future cases or be construed as a concession by the Defendant that the original administrative decision denying benefits to Plaintiff was not substantially justified.
3. Payment of EAJA fees will be made directly to Plaintiff's counsel, John J. Borsos, Esq.
4. That this award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff's counsel to seek attorneys fees under section 206(b) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), subject to the offset provisions of the EAJA.
