STIPULATION AND ORDER AWARDING

ATTORNEY FEES UNDER THE EQUAL

ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT (28 U.S.C.

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 FOUR THOUSAND AND NO CENTS ($4,000.00) and costs of court. 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.

This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff's request for EAJA attorney fees

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
