REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S

COUNSEL’S MOTION FOR

ATTORNEY’S FEES

On February 7, 2006, the Honorable Martin J. Jenkins

referred to me the Motion for Award of Attorney’s Fees [docket

# 17] for a report and recommendation. Plaintiff’s attorney

Harvey P. Sackett, Esq. requested a fee of $7,492.25 for

obtaining a favorable result for his client, Esther Barbour,

in addition to the $4,700 he has previously been awarded. On

April 17, 2006, the Commissioner filed a response of nonopposition to granting these fees to Mr. Sackett. The total

fees Mr. Sackett would obtain, $12,192.25, appear consistent

with his fee agreement with Ms. Barbour.

Mr. Sackett did not file a proposed order. I therefore

GRANTED, and he receive additional attorney’s fees in the

amount of $7,492.25.
