REX MASON SONS PLAINTIFF v. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION DEFENDANT
AMENDED ORDER
BILLY ROY WILSON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pending are Plaintiff's unopposed Motions for Attorney's Fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) (Doc. Nos. 28, 29). Because Plaintiff's unopposed request for a gross § 406(b) fee of $13,875 is appropriate and the hours spent by counsel were reasonable, the motions are GRANTED.
Counsel may retain the $8,500 in fees previously awarded under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, in partial satisfaction of the § 406(b) award. Additionally, Plaintiff's counsel is entitled to a net $5,375 in attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED
