RHONDA RENEE FLOYD,

Plaintiff,

v. Civil Action No.: 1:19-cv-00161-JMV

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

ORDER BEFORE THE COURT are Plaintiff’s motion [21] for an award of attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act,

(d), and supporting memorandum [22] and Defendant’s response [23]. Having considered the parties’ submissions and the applicable law— and hearing no objection from Defendant regarding the hourly rate or amount sought—the Court finds the EAJA award requested is reasonable. Accordingly, it is, hereby, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request for attorney fees is GRANTED, and Plaintiff is awarded $6,239.00. Consistent with Astrue vs. Ratliff,

(2010), the EAJA award check should be made payable to Plaintiff (for the benefit of her counsel) and mailed to her counsel. SO ORDERED this 17th day of December, 2020.
