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 four-thousand, four hundred fifty

dollars and zero cents ($4450.00) 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

§ 406, subject to the provisions of the EAJA.
