ORDER APPROVING AND ADOPTING

MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

On September 6, 2013, Magistrate Judge Ellen S. Carmody issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (Dkt. No. 18) recommending that Plaintiff's motion for attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A), be granted in part and denied in part. No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so has expired. The Court has reviewed the matter and concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound recommendation.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's September 6, 2013, R&R (Dkt. No. 18) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees (Dkt. No. 14) is GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant remit three-thousand, three-hundred, sixty-two dollars and fifty cents ($3,362.50) in fees and that such be paid directly to Plaintiff.
