STEVEN HOLLIS PLAINTIFF

VS. No. 4:24-cv-00458 PSH

MARTIN O’MALLEY, Commissioner, Social Security Administration DEFENDANT

ORDER

Counsel for plaintiff Steven Hollis (“Hollis”) filed a motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”),

. Doc. No. 12. In response, defendant Martin O’Malley (“O’Malley”) informs the Court that the parties have agreed to an EAJA award of $6,300.00. Doc. No. 13. The motion is GRANTED, and the EAJA award in the amount of $6,300.00 is approved. We find nothing unreasonable about the hours of work performed or the hourly rate requested. Because the award belongs to Hollis, and not his attorney, as set forth in Astrue v. Ratliff,

(2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue payment of this award by check made payable to Hollis, in care of his attorney, Martin W. Long, and shall mail the check to Mr. Long at his Panama City, Florida address. IT IS SO ORDERED this 16" day of December, 2024.
