IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOIS RIDDICK,

Plaintiff,

v.

JO ANNE B. BARNHART, Commissioner of

Social Security,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 04-2747 CW

ORDER RE

PLAINTIFF'S

ATTORNEY'S MOTION

FOR ATTORNEYS'

FEES

Plaintiff's counsel, Tony Arjo, moves, under 42 U.S.C.

§ 406(b), for an award of $12,000 in attorneys' fees. The Social

Security Administration has withheld $13,040.75, twenty-five

percent of Plaintiff Lois Riddick's past-due benefits, for payment

of any approved attorneys' fees. As will be explained in a written

order to follow, the Court finds that $6,000 is a reasonable

amount, under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), for the time Plaintiff's counsel

spent on this case. The Social Security Administration shall

return the remaining $7,040.75 of the $13,040.75 that was withheld
