IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

GEORGE M. ALLENSWORTH PLAINTIFF

V. NO. 3:06CV00036 JMM

JO ANNE B. BARNHART, DEFENDANT

Commissioner, Social 

Security Administration

ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a motion for attorney fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice

Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412, for services performed by his attorney before this Court

(docket entry #5). The Commissioner filed her response (docket entry #7), stating that

Plaintiff is not entitled to an award of attorney fees under the EAJA at this time because

he is not yet a “prevailing party,” as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A). The

Commissioner also states that she has contacted Plaintiff’s attorney and he agrees that

the EAJA fee petition is premature. 

Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees pursuant to the EAJA (docket entry #5)

is denied without prejudice to resubmission at the appropriate time. 

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 20th day of July, 2006.
