STIPULATION AND ORDER SETTLING ATTORNEY'S FEES
PURSUANT TO THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their undersigned counsel that, subject to the approval of the Court, Plaintiff be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), in the amount of FOUR THOUSAND dollars and 00/100 cents ($4,000.00). This amount represents compensation for all legal services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in connection with this civil action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).
This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiffs request for EAJA attorney fees, and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under the EAJA. Payment of FOUR THOUSAND dollars and 00/100 cents ($4,000.00) in EAJA attorney fees, shall constitute a complete release from and bar to any and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees in connection with this action. Per the assignment, any payment is to be made out to Plaintiff's counsel, Sengthiene Bosavanh, and mailed to 948 11th Street, Suite 17 Modesto, CA 95354.
This award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff's counsel to seek Social Security Act attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406, subject to the provisions of the EAJA.
