DONNIE H. THOMPSON, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
GRAHAM C. MULLEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court upon Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Defendant filed a response neither supporting nor opposing the fee request, but stating that under Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789 (2002), it is the duty of the Court to determine a reasonable fee. After considering the factors identified by the Fourth Circuit in Mudd v. Barnhart, 418 F.3d 424, 428 (4th Cir. 2005), the Court finds the fees requested to be reasonable.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's counsel be awarded fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) in the amount of $30,058.87.
