UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On November 7, 2019, Shellie Lott, counsel for Plaintiff Sheri Leanne Qualls (“Plaintiff”) filed 

a motion for attorneys’ fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). (Doc. No. 20.) On December 20, 2019, 

counsel for Plaintiff filed an amended motion for attorneys’ fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). (Doc. 

No. 25.) On December 23, 2019, the Commissioner of Social Security (the “Commissioner”) filed a 

statement of non-opposition to the amended motion. (Doc. No. 27.) However, neither motion 

indicates whether Plaintiff was served with copies or otherwise notified of the motion and amended 

motion and provided an opportunity to respond.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. Counsel for Plaintiff shall promptly serve Plaintiff with copies of the motion (Doc. No. 

20), the amended motion (Doc. No. 25), and this order and shall file proof of such service with the 

Court; and

 

1 Andrew M. Saul is now the Commissioner of Social Security. Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure, Andrew M. Saul is substituted for Acting Commissioner Nancy A. Berryhill as the defendant in this suit.
