of $ 1,200.00 in attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C.

§ 2412(d). (Doc. 19). The parties further stipulate that this amount constitutes a compromise

on the part of Defendant under the EAJA. Accordingly, it IS ORDERED that:

1 Plaintiff’s counsel, as Plaintiff’s assignee, is awarded $1,200.00 in attorney’s fees

pursuant to the EAJA, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d);

2. The award of said EAJA fees shall constitute a complete release from and bar to

any and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees in connection with

this civil action;
