IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER SCRIBER PLAINTIFF

V. 3:14-cv-00305-JTK

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner, DEFENDANT

Social Security Administration 

ORDER

Plaintiff filed this motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to

Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. (Doc. No. 18.) In his motion, Plaintiff requests

$3,375.05 in fees and expenses. The Commissioner has no objection. (Doc. No. 20.)

After careful consideration, the Plaintiff’s motion is granted.

EAJA fees are payable to Plaintiff, not Plaintiff’s attorney, and such fees are

subject to an offset when Plaintiff has outstanding federal debts. See Astrue v. Ratliff,

560 U.S. 586 (2010). Therefore, subject to any offset, payment by check to the order of

Plaintiff, in care of his attorney, will issue to Plaintiff’s attorney.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees (Doc.

No. 18) is granted. Plaintiff is awarded $3,375.05.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of December 2015.
