Plaintiff now seeks an award of fees pursuant to

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,

IT IS SO ORDERED.
