IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

STEVEN HOLLIS PLAINTIFF

VS. No. 4:24-cv-00458 PSH 

MARTIN O’MALLEY, Commissioner, 

 Social Security Administration DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

 Counsel for plaintiff Steven Hollis (“Hollis”) filed a motion for attorney’s fees 

pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. Doc. No. 

12. In response, defendant Martin O’Malley (“O’Malley”) informs the Court that 

the parties have agreed to an EAJA award of $6,300.00. Doc. No. 13. 

 The motion is GRANTED, and the EAJA award in the amount of $6,300.00 

is approved. We find nothing unreasonable about the hours of work performed or 

the hourly rate requested. Because the award belongs to Hollis, and not his attorney, 

as set forth in Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010), the Department of Treasury 

shall issue payment of this award by check made payable to Hollis, in care of his 

attorney, Martin W. Long, and shall mail the check to Mr. Long at his Panama City, 

Florida address.
