Dalton v. Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION WESLEY DALTON, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 6:19-cv-300-RBD-LHP COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. ____________________________________ ORDER In this Social Security appeal, the Court reversed the Commissioner’s decision denying disability benefits. (Doc. 18.) Plaintiff’s counsel now moves to recover attorney’s fees from Plaintiff under 42 U.S.C. §406(b). (Doc. 25 (“Motion”).)

On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie Hoffman Price recommends granting the Motion and allowing a recovery of $8,715.35. (Doc. 26 (“R&R”).) No objections were filed and the time for doing so has passed, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006).

Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 26) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order in its entirety.

2. Plaintiff's counsel’s Motion (Doc. 25) is GRANTED.

3. Plaintiff's counsel is AUTHORIZED to charge and collect $8,715.35 from Plaintiff.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on April 20, 2023.
