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 $5,202.34 in EAJA attorney fees and $379.31 in EAJA cost shall constitute a 

complete release from and bar to any and all claims Plaintiff may have relating to EAJA fees and 

costs in connection with this action. Any payment shall be made payable to Plaintiff's counsel as 

Plaintiff's assignee and delivered to Plaintiff's counsel. This award is without prejudice to the 

rights of Plaintiff's counsel to seek Social Security Act attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406, 

subject to the offset provisions of the EAJA.
