IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON

SARAH B., No. 6:19-cv-00120-HZ

Plaintiff, ORDER v.

COMMISSIONER, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,

Defendant.

HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge: Plaintiff Sarah B. brought this action seeking review of the Commissioner’s final decision to deny Disability Insurance Benefits. On January 31, 2020, pursuant to the parties’ stipulated motion, the Court reversed the Commissioner’s decision and ordered that the case be remanded for additional proceedings. Order, ECF 16. Judgment was entered on February 12, 2020. ECF 18. On February 10, 2022, Plaintiff’s counsel received notice of Plaintiff’s award for benefits. Pl. Mot. Ex. A, ECF 23. Plaintiff now seeks an award of fees pursuant to

(b). Pl. Mot., ECF 23. Defendant has no objection to the request.

The Court has reviewed the record in the 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 the requested fees reasonable.

The Court GRANTS the motion [23] and awards Plaintiff’s counsel $12,374.25 in attorney’s fees under

(b). When issuing the section 406(b) check for payment to Plaintiff’s attorney, the Commissioner is directed to subtract the amount previously received under EAJA and send Plaintiff’s attorney the balance of $3,123.86 less any applicable processing fees as allowed by statute. Any amount withheld after all administrative and court attorney’s fees are paid should be released to Plaintiff. IT IS SO ORDERED.
