NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LORITA GERRITSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREW M. SAUL,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-03492-JCS 

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE STIPULATION FOR 

EAJA ATTORNEYS' FEES

Re: Dkt. No. 23

The parties filed a stipulation and proposed order awarding Plaintiff Lorita Gerritson 

$5,000 in attorneys’ fees and $400 in costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act, and directing 

Defendant Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security, to pay that sum to Gerritson’s counsel 

pursuant to an agreement that Gerritson purportedly signed, so long as Gerritson does not owe a 

preexisting debt to the United States. The parties’ stipulation does not include a copy of the 

purported agreement and does not indicate that the stipulation was served on Gerritson herself. It 

is DENIED without prejudice to filing a renewed stipulation remedying those defects.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 6, 2019
