ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION OF AWARD OF ATTORNEY FEES
UNDER THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT
Blackburn, J.
The matter is before me on the Motion For Order Approving Stipulation of Award of Attorney Fees Under the Equal Access To Justice Act [#22] filed May 31, 2012. After reviewing the motion and the file, I conclude that the motion should be granted and that plaintiff should be awarded attorney fees in the amount of four thousand two hundred dollars ($4,200.00) under the Equal Access To Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).
"[#22]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Motion For Order Approving Stipulation of Award of Attorney Fees Under the Equal Access To Justice Act [#22] filed May 31, 2012, is GRANTED; and
2. That plaintiff is awarded attorney fees in the amount of four thousand two hundred dollars ($4,200.00) under the Equal Access To Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).
Dated May 31, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
