The matter before me is the parties' Motion for Order Approving Stipulation of Award of Attorney Fees Under the Equal Access to Justice Act [#24] filed October 19, 2009. After careful review of the motion and the file, I conclude that the motion should be granted and that plaintiff should be awarded attorney fees in the amount of $7,000.00 under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

2. That plaintiff is AWARDED attorney fees in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00) pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d);

3. That payment shall be made to plaintiff in care of plaintiff's attorney; and

4. That plaintiff's Opposed Motion for Attorney Fees Under EAJA [#23] filed October 14, 2009, is DENIED AS MOOT.
