Jorge Torres v. Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION JORGE TORRES, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 6:23-cv-1691-RBD-RMN COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. ____________________________________ ORDER In this Social Security appeal, the Court entered judgment in favor of Plaintiff. (Docs. 31, 32.) Plaintiff’s counsel then moved for an award of attorney’s fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1), which motion Defendant did not oppose. (Doc. 56.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Norway entered a Report and Recommendation submitting that the Court should grant the Motion. (Doc. 58 (“R&R”).) The time has passed and the parties did not object, 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. 58) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order in its entirety.

2. Plaintiff's counsel’s motion (Doc. 56) is GRANTED.

3. Plaintiff's counsel is AUTHORIZED to charge and collect $16,448.50 from Plaintiff in attorney’s fees.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on January 14, 2026.
