MEMORANDUM AND OPINION


This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R R") filed by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley [Doc. 31]. There have been no timely objections to the R R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R R to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the magistrate judge's conclusion that Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees [Doc. 25] under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, be granted, and that Plaintiff's counsel be awarded attorney fees in the amount of $2,128.00. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R R [Doc. 31] under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R R [Doc. 31], which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees [Doc. 25] is GRANTED, whereby Plaintiff's counsel is awarded attorney fees in the amount of $2,128.00.
