ORDER FOR ATTORNEY FEES UNDER 42 U.S.C § 406(B)
Jolie A. Russo, U.S. Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), is hereby GRANTED, and Plaintiff's counsel is awarded $49,585.50 under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Previously, this Court awarded Plaintiff EAJA fees in the amount of $30,828.42, to be paid to Plaintiff's attorney, Ms. Meserow, after the satisfaction of Plaintiff's debts under Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010). ECF Doc. 43, p.3; ECF Doc. 46, and ECF Doc. 30 from Plaintiff's previous Case No. 2:14-cv-00756-SU. Therefore, when issuing the 406(b) fee check for payment to Plaintiff's counsel, the Commissioner is directed to subtract the $30,828.42 previously received, and to send Ms. Meserow the remaining balance of $18,757.08, less any applicable processing fee prescribed by law. The § 406(b) check payable to Ms. Meserow should be mailed to Nancy J. Meserow, Law Office of Nancy J. Meserow, 7540 SW 51st Avenue, Portland, OR 97219.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
