ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT FEES
Plaintiff filed a motion for fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). (Dkt. 22.) Defendant submitted an objection to the amount of fees requested (Dkt. 25), but the parties subsequently conferred and stipulated to a reduced amount of fees (Dkt. 26.)
Plaintiff now seeks $6,199.92 in attorney's fees and $29.44 in expenses pursuant to the EAJA, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, and $66.50 in costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1920, for a total award of $6,295.86. As noted, defendant stipulates to this request. ( See Dkt. 26.) Having considered the stipulated motion and the accompanying documents, the Court finds plaintiff's request reasonable.
It is therefore ORDERED:
(1) The stipulated motion for EAJA fees (Dkt. 26) is GRANTED. Plaintiff's original motion for EAJA fees (Dkt. 22) is STRICKEN as moot. Plaintiff is hereby awarded the attorney's fees, expenses, and costs requested.
(2) The Clerk shall send copies of this Order to the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik and to the parties.
