CIVIL NO. 3:16-cv-00771-EMC

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

APPROVING SETTLEMENT OF 

ATTORNEY FEES PURSUANT TO THE 

EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their undersigned counsel, 

subject to the Court’s approval, that Plaintiff be awarded attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice 

Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), in the amount of FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY 

NINE DOLLARS ($4579.00). This amount represents compensation for all legal services rendered on 

behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in connection with this civil action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 

2412(d). 

After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff, the government will 

consider the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees and expenses to Plaintiff’s attorney. Pursuant 

to Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (U.S. June 14, 2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend 

on whether the fees and expenses are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department 

of the Treasury’s Offset Program. If the Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff does not 

owe a federal debt, then the government shall cause the payment of fees, expenses and costs to be made
