IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

JOE LOVE PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:15-cv-00179 PSH

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner DEFENDANT

of the Social Security Administration

ORDER

Plaintiff Joe Love (“Love”) has filed the pending motion for an award of attorney’s

fees and other expenses under the provisions of the Equal Access to Justice Act. See

Document 18. In the motion, he seeks fees and expenses totaling $1,839.52. The Acting

Commissioner of the Social Security Administration has no objection to the amount of

fees and expenses requested by Love.

The Court has reviewed Love’s motion and finds nothing unreasonable about the

hours of work performed, the hourly rate requested, or the amount of expenses

requested. The motion is granted, and fees and expenses totaling $1,839.52 are awarded

to Love. Because the award belongs to Love, and not his attorney, see Astrue v. Ratliff,

— U.S. —, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 177 L.E.2d 91 (2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue

Case 3:15-cv-00179-PSH Document 22 Filed 07/05/16 Page 1 of 2
payment of this award by check made payable to Love, in care of the Bartels Law Firm,

and shall mail the check to the Bartels Law Firm at its Jonesboro, Arkansas, address.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of July, 2016.
