DANIEL SHICKLES, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, [1] Defendant.
ORDER
DAVID P. RUSH UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court is Plaintiff's Application for Attorney's Fees. (Doc. 22.) Plaintiff requests an award of attorney fees in the amount of $3, 926.00 pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act. Defendant has no objection to the request. (Doc. 23.) Upon review, the Court finds that Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorney fees under the EAJA, and the agreed amount is reasonable. Also, per Plaintiff's Affidavit, the award may be made payable to Fredrick Vasquez. (Doc. 22-1.)
It is therefore ORDERED that
1. The Application for Attorney Fees is GRANTED; and
2. An award of attorney fees in the amount of $3, 926.00 shall be paid by the Social Security Administration, subject to offset to satisfy any pre-existing debt Plaintiff may owe to the United States.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
