The Court, having read the Petition of CHARLES E. BINDER, attorney for the Plaintiff in the above entitled case, dated the 13th day of March, 2008 for an award of attorney fees in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), and upon all the supporting documents annexed hereto, and no opposition having been filed,
IT IS ORDERED that attorney fees be granted in the amount of $10,551.93, which represents 25% ($13,580.25) of the past due benefits awarded to the Plaintiff, minus the previously awarded EAJA fees ($3,028.32), to CHARLES E.
