CIVIL NO. 2:14-cv-01209 EFB

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

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) in the amount of FIVE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($5500.00). This amount

represents compensation for all legal services counsel rendered on behalf of Plaintiff in connection with this

civil action, 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 of the

agreed amount shall constitute a complete release from, and bar to, any and all claims that Plaintiff and/or

Plaintiff’s counsel may have relating to EAJA attorney fees and expenses in connection with this action.
