JAIME CARDENAS

 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAIME CARDENAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Defendant.

Case No. 4:13-cv-03321-DMR

PROPOSED ORDER AND 

STIPULATION AWARDING EAJA FEES

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

subject to the approval of the Court, that Plaintiff, JAIME CARDENAS, will be awarded attorney 

fees and costs in the amount of:

Three Thousand Three Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($3,300.00) pursuant to the Equal Access 

to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). This amount represents compensation for all legal 

services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in the amount of $3,300.00 in connection with 

this civil action in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees to plaintiff, the Defendant will consider any 

assignment of EAJA fees to attorney. The ability to honor any such assignment will depend on

whether the fees are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of the 

Treasury's Offset Program. After the order for EAJA fees is entered, the Defendant will determine 

whether they are subject to any offset.

Fees shall be made payable to JAIME CARDENAS, but if the Department of the Treasury 

determines that JAIME CARDENAS does not owe a federal debt, then the government shall cause 

the payment of fees to be made directly to the Mr. Robert C. Weems plaintiff’s attorney or record, 

pursuant to any assignment executed by Plaintiff. Any payments made shall be delivered to counsel. 

This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of plaintiff’s request for EAJA attorney fees 

and recoverable costs and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant 

under the EAJA or otherwise. Payment of the agreed amount shall constitute a complete release 

from, and bar to, any and all claims that plaintiff and/or plaintiff’s counsel including Weems Law 

Offices may have relating to EAJA attorney fees in connection with this action.

SO STIPULATED AND AGREED, this 27

th day of January, 2015.
