DECISION AND ENTRY
This case is before the Court upon the Motion for Allowance of Attorney Fees (Doc. #15) filed by Plaintiff's attorney. The Commissioner has neither responded to nor opposed the Motion, and the time for filing a Memorandum in Opposition has expired. See S.D. Ohio Civ. R. 7.2(a)(2).
The Motion seeks an award of attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1) in the total amount of $13,699.25. In the absence of a response or opposition by the Commissioner, the Motion and supporting Exhibits establish that an award of attorney fees is warranted under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1) in the amount the Motion seeks.
Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that:
1. The Motion for Allowance of Attorney Fees (Doc. #15) is GRANTED;
2. The Commissioner shall pay Plaintiff's attorney fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1) in the amount of $13,699.25; and
3. The case remains terminated on the docket of this Court.
