CIVIL ACTION NO. 13-0559-CG-B
11-09-2015
JUDGMENT
In accordance with the Order entered this dated, Petitioner's Motion for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 27) is GRANTED, and Petitioner Byron A. Lassiter, Esquire, is awarded attorney's fees pursuant to § 406(b) in the sum of $2,710.75. This sum is equal to twenty-five (25%) percent of the total past-due benefits awarded to Plaintiff, minus the administrative amount previously paid ($6,000). Because Petitioner seeks to retain the greater award of EAJA attorney's fees, he is instructed to refund to Plaintiff the lesser award under § 406(b) in the amount of $2,710.75.
DONE and ORDERED this 9th day of November, 2015.
