ORDER GRANTING EAJA FEES
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). Doc. 24. In his response, the Commissioner does not object to the amount requested. See Doc. 25. He does, however, insist that the Court direct payment of the EAJA award to the Plaintiff pursuant to the Tenth Circuit's decision in Manning v. Astrue, 510 F.3d 1246 (10th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff's counsel advised the Court that he would not be filing a reply. Having reviewed the motion and memorandum, I find an award of attorney fees is appropriate and that the amount requested is reasonable.
Wherefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED and Plaintiff is awarded $6,993.51 for attorney fees under EAJA for the work performed by her attorney in this case.
