Newman (doc. 17), concerning a request by Plaintiff's counsel for an award of attorney's fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

Having carefully reviewed this matter, the Court rules as follows:
1. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation dated February 14, 2014 (doc. 17) is ADOPTED;

3. This matter is hereby TERMINATED on the docket of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
