Stip. & Order for EAJA 2

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 FIVE THOUSAND dollars and 0 cents ($5,000.00) in EAJA

fees, shall constitute a complete release from and bar to any and all claims Plaintiff may

have relating to EAJA fees in connection with this civil action. Any payment shall be

made payable to Plaintiff and delivered to Plaintiff’s counsel, unless Plaintiff does not owe

a federal debt. If the United States Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff

does not owe a federal debt, the government will accept Plaintiff's assignment of EAJA

Fees and pay fees directly 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 provisions of the EAJA.

Respectfully submitted January 4, 2011.
