The stipulation is entered into for the sole purpose of settling all disputed 

claims regarding EAJA and avoiding the expenses and risks of litigation. This 

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

attorney fees, costs, and expenses. This stipulation does not constitute an 

admission of liability on the part of Defendant under the EAJA. This stipulation 

does not settle, or compromise the question of whether Marc V. Kalagian may be, 

is, or should be the direct payee of an award of fees, costs, and expenses under the 

EAJA in the absence or presence of an express or implied assignment of such an 

award nor whether any such award is free from or subject to debts of Plaintiff, if 

any, under the Debt Collection Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. § 3716, or as to any issue 

regarding the applicability of the Assignment of Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3727. 

 Neither this agreement nor the substance herein shall, in full or in part, be 

quoted, cited or referred to in any document filed in any case but the present one 

and it shall not, in full or in part, be attached to any document filed in any case but 

the present one.

Payment of three thousand five hundred seventy five dollars and one cent

($3575.01) in EAJA attorney fees, costs, and expenses to Marc V. Kalagian shall 

constitute a complete release from and bar to any and all claims Plaintiff may have 

relating to EAJA fees in connection. Any payment shall be made payable to 

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