Present: The Honorable Karen L. Stevenson, United States Magistrate Judge
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED AWARD OF EAJA ATTORNEY'S FEES [DKT. NO. 25] AND DENYING MOTION FOR EAJA FEES AS MOOT [DKT. NO. 23]
On November 24, 2021, Plaintiff, through counsel, filed a Motion for Attorney Fees (the "Motion") Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"). (Dkt. No. 23.) The Court subsequently issued a briefing schedule on the Motion. (Dkt. No. 24.) In lieu of Defendant filing an Opposition to the Motion, the parties have stipulated to a reasonable award of EAJA fees and submitted a Stipulation to Award of Attorney Fees and Expenses Under the EAJA ("Stipulation") to the Court for approval. (Dkt. No. 25.)
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, based upon the parties' Stipulation, and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), attorney fees shall be paid to Patricia L. McCabe, Counsel for Plaintiff, in the amount of Two Thousand, Four Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($2,400.00), and expenses in the amount of Four Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($400.00), subject to the terms of the Stipulation.
Further, in light of the Stipulation, which resolves any potential dispute between the parties concerning the award of EAJA fees, the pending Motion is DENIED as moot. (Dkt. No. 23.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
