This case is before the Court upon the Motion For Attorney Fees Under Equal Access To Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. §2412(d) filed by Plaintiff's attorney. (Doc. #18). 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).
