This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff's request for EAJA attorney fees

and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under the EAJA. Payment in

the aforementioned sum under EAJA shall constitute a complete release from and bar to any and all

claims, rights, causes of action, liens or subrogated interests relating to attorneys fees and costs incurred

in this action under EAJA. 

The settlement of Plaintiff’s claim for EAJA attorney fees does not preclude Plaintiff’s counsel

from seeking attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) of the Social Security Act, subject to the offset

provisions of the law.
