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 of FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED dollars and 00/100 cents ($5,200.00) in EAJA

attorney fees, shall constitute a complete release from and bar to any and all claims Plaintiff may have

relating to EAJA fees in connection with this action. Any payment shall be made payable to Plaintiff’s

counsel as Plaintiff’s assignee and delivered to Plaintiff’s counsel.

This award is without prejudice to the rights of Plaintiff’s counsel to seek Social Security Act

attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406, subject to the provisions of the EAJA.
