Civil No. 07-1744-TC.

ORDER
Plaintiff Jean Sanders moves for an award of attorney fees and expenses pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412 et seq., in the amount of $6,366.49. Subsequent to the filing of this motion, defendant made a filing indicating that it had no objection to the request.
Having reviewed the record, I find that the Commissioner's position was not substantially justified, and that the number of hours spent by plaintiff's counsel and the hourly fee requested are reasonable under EAJA.
Plaintiff's motion (#27) for attorney fees and costs under the EAJA should be granted in the amount of $6,366.49.
