UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ---------------------------------------------------------------X : MICHAEL GOLDING, : : Plaintiff, : : ORDER v. : 18-CV-7452 (WFK) (CLP) : NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner : of Social Security, : : Defendant. : ---------------------------------------------------------------X WILLIAM F. KUNTZ, II, United States District Judge: On January 10, 2022, Chief Magistrate Judge Cheryl L. Pollak filed a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). ECF No. 20. The R&R recommends: [P]laintiff’s motion be granted, and plaintiff’s counsel’s requested fee be approved. The undersigned further respectfully recommends that an Order issue directing the [Social Security Administration] to approve and disburse $8,800 out of the past-due [Social Security Disability Insurance] benefits payable to plaintiff as attorney’s fees under

(b) and directing counsel to remit to plaintiff the [Equal Access to Justice Act] award that counsel has already received.

R&R at 6. The parties did not file any objections to the Report and Recommendation, which were due January 24, 2022. The Court reviews a Report and Recommendation for clear error when no objections have been filed. See Covey v. Simonton,

(E.D.N.Y. 2007) (Garaufis, J.). The Court finds no such error here. The Court therefore adopts the Report and Recommendation of Chief Magistrate Judge Pollak in its entirety. SO ORDERED. s/WFK ____________________________ HON. WILLIAM F. KUNTZ, II UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Dated: January 26, 2022 Brooklyn, New York
