Chief Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington
DECISION AND ENTRY
This case is before the Court upon the Motion For Allowance Of Attorney Fees filed by Plaintiff's attorney. (Doc. #19). The Acting Commissioner has neither responded to nor opposed the Motion, and the time for filing a Memorandum in Opposition has expired. See S.D. Ohio Civ. R. 7.2(a)(2).

In the absence of a response or opposition by the Acting Commissioner, the Motion, Memorandum, and supporting Exhibits establish that an award of attorney fees is warranted under 42 U.S.C. §406(b)(1) in the amount the Motion seeks.
Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that:
1. The Motion For Allowance Of Attorney Fees (Doc. # 19) is GRANTED;
