BARBARA KAY SHERMAN, Plaintiff, Case No. 6:17-cv-00101-SI vs. ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER, ATTORNEY FEES PURSUANT TO 42 Social Security Administration, U.S.C. § 406(b) Defendant. Plaintiff Barbara Kay Sherman brought this action seeking review of the Commissioner’s final decision denying her application for Supplemental Security Income under the Social Security Act. The Court reversed the Commissioner’s decision, remanded the case for further proceedings, and entered Judgment on April 23, 2018. Upon remand, the Commissioner found Plaintiff entitled to benefits beginning January 2015. Plaintiff now seeks an award of fees pursuant to

(b). The parties have conferred and, after giving substantive consideration to the merits of Plaintiff’s request for 406(b) fees in the amount of $10,652.50, the Commissioner found no basis to object. I have reviewed the record in this case, the motion, and the supporting materials, including the award of benefits, the fee agreement with counsel, and the recitation of counsel’s hours and services. Applying the standards set by Gisbrecht v. Barnhart,

(2002), the Court finds that the requested fees are reasonable. Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Attorney Fees Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 406(b) is hereby

GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s counsel is awarded $10,652.50 in attorney’s fees under

(b). When issuing the § 406(b) check for payment to Plaintiff’s attorney, the Commissioner is directed to send the full award of $10,652.50, less any applicable processing or user fees prescribed by statute, to Plaintiff’s attorneys at HARDER, WELLS, BARON & MANNING, P.C., 474 Willamette Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401.
