Hathorn v. Commissioner of SSA
Hathorn v. Commissioner of SSA
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00302 Charity Vanessa Hathorn, Plaintiff, V. Commissioner, SSA, Defendant.
ORDER On April 1, 2024, plaintiff Charity Hathorn filed an unopposed motion for attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”). Doc. 17. The motion was referred to United States Mag- istrate Judge John D. Love for findings of fact and a recommendation for disposition. Doc. 19. On April 12, 2024, Judge Love issued a re- port and recommendation, recommending that plaintiff’s motion be granted and that the Commissioner pay to plaintiff the sum of $5,302.19 in reasonable attorney’s fees under the EAJA. Doc. 20. Neither party has filed objections to Judge Love’s report and rec- ommendation, and the timeframe for doing so has passed. When no party objects to a magistrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear error. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Assn,
79 F.3d 1415, 1420(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc). Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satis- fied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 17) is granted, and the Commissioner shall pay to plaintiff the sum of $5,302.19. The pay- ment shall be payable to plaintiff and sent to plaintiff’s counsel. So ordered by the court on May 17, 2024. fab BARKER United States District Judge
