IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned counsel, subject to the

approval of the Court, that Plaintiff be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act in the

amount of FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($5,500.00). This

amount represents compensation for all legal services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in

connection with this civil action for services performed before the district court in accordance with

28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

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.

Respectfully submitted,

Dated March 23, 2010 /s/ Doris Ng
