Attorney for Plaintiff
ORDER FOR ATTORNEYS FEES PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)
MUSTAFA T. KASUBHAI, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Attorneys' fees in the amount of $19,345.25 are hereby awarded to Attorney Ari Halpern, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Although fees under the Equal Access To Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412, were ordered, they were entirely offset by Plaintiff's debt and the undersigned attorney received no EAJA fees. Consequently, no amount, besides any user fees, should be deducted from above referenced fee. When issuing the §406(b) check, the agency is directed to send to Plaintiff's attorney, Ari Halpern, at the address above, $19,345.25, minus any user fees. Any amount withheld after all administrative and court attorney fees are paid should be released to the Plaintiff.
