STIPULATION AND ORDER 

FOR THE AWARD OF EQUAL ACCESS 

TO JUSTICE FEES 

 

The parties stipulate through counsel that, subject to the Court’s approval, Plaintiff shall 

be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. 2412(d), for 

FOUR THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($4,300.00). This amount represents 

compensation for all legal services rendered to Plaintiff by counsel in this civil action, and is 

awarded under 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). After the Court orders EAJA fees to Plaintiff, the 

government will consider the matter of Plaintiff's assignment of EAJA fees and expenses and

honor the assignment will depend on whether the fees, expenses and costs are subject to any 

offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury's Offset Program. After the 

order for EAJA fees is entered, the government will determine whether they are subject to any
