CIVIL NO. C 06-5813-CRB

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

AWARDING ATTORNEY FEES UNDER

THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT

(28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)) 

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 ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY DOLLARS AND NO CENTS

($1,890.00). 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

provisions of the law.
