ROBERT GOKEY, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, ACTING COMMISSIONER, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.
ORDER
RONNIE ABRAMS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On October 27, 2021, the Court awarded Plaintiff $22,271.75 in attorneys' fees under the Social Security Act. Dkt. 32. The Court is now in receipt of a letter from Plaintiff's attorney, Christopher Bowes, seeking to correct a purported error in the Court's Order. According to Bowes, the Court “incorrectly states that the undersigned's hourly rate for non-contingent cases is $200, ” rather than the $450 rate described in Bowes' earlier declaration. Dkt. 33.
The Court's Order did not state that Mr. Bowes' hourly rate for non-contingent cases was $200. Rather, it stated that the de facto hourly rate that Bowes' requested award would yield in this case, $638.16, was “nearly $200 greater than the rate Bowes charges in non-contingency cases, ” Dkt. 32 at 5 (citing Bowes Dec. ¶ 32); and “exceed[ed] Bowes' standard rate by nearly $200, ” id. at 7. Accordingly, the Court sees no need to correct any aspect of its prior Order.
SO ORDERED.
