ORDER
Attorney fees in the amount of $18,496.00 are hereby awarded to Plaintiff's attorney pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). The Court finds this is a reasonable fee. Previously, this Court awarded $5,850.00, pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. If Plaintiffs attorney receives both fees, he must refund the smaller fee to the claimant. IT IS SO ORDERED.
