PAULINE A. LUNA, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff's application for award of attorneys' fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("Act") (#33). The Court previously reversed and remanded under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) the Commissioner's decision denying plaintiff's claim for benefits. (#31.) As the prevailing party, plaintiff now requests an award for her attorney fees in the amount of $4,926.03. See 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(B). "Defendant has no objection to Plaintiff's request for attorney fees under the [Act] in the amount of $4,926.03" and "requests that the court enter an order specifically awarding attorney fees of $4,926.03 to be paid by the Social Security Administration." (#35 at 1.) As such, plaintiff's application will be granted.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's application for award of attorneys' fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (#33) is GRANTED.
So ordered this 12th day of June 2018.
