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 [19] and awards Plaintiff’s counsel $14,877.50 in
