Douglass v. United Services Auto. Assn,

79 F.3d 1415, 1430

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc). The Court has reviewed the filings in this cause and the Report of the Magistrate Judge. Upon such review, the Court has determined that the Report of the Magistrate Judge is correct. See United States v. Wilson,

864 F.2d 1219, 1221

(5th Cir.), cert. denied,

492 U.S. 918

,

109 S.Ct. 3243

(1989) (holding that where no objections to a Magistrate Judge’s Report are filed, the standard of review is “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law.”). Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report (Docket No. 30) is ADOPTED. Plaintiff's motion (Docket No. 28) is GRANTED and the Commissioner shall pay to Plaintiff the sum of $8,031.97 in fees pursuant to EAJA,

28 U.S.C. § 2412

(d), and $402.00 in costs, by making the payment payable to Plaintiff and sending the payment to Plaintiff's counsel. Because Plaintiff's counsel has already received fees pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 406

(b) in this case (Docket No. 25), Plaintiff's counsel shall immediately transmit payment directly to Plaintiff upon receipt.
