IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

MARY BETH CROSSLEY PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 5:15-cv-00391 PSH

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner DEFENDANT

of the Social Security Administration

ORDER

Plaintiff Mary Beth Crossley (“Crossley”) has filed the pending motion for an award

of attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act. See Pleading 16. In the

motion, she seeks an award of fees in the total amount of $2,864.58. The Acting

Commissioner of the Social Security Administration has no objection to the motion.

The Court has reviewed Crossley’s motion and finds nothing unreasonable about

the hours of work performed or the hourly rate requested. The motion is granted, and

fees totaling $2,864.58 are awarded to Crossley. Because the award belongs to Crossley,

and not her attorney, see Astrue v. Ratliff, — U.S. —, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 177 L.E.2d 91

(2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue payment of this award by check made

payable to Crossley, in care of her attorney, Eric L. Worsham (“Worsham”), and shall

mail the check to Worsham at his Pine Bluff, Arkansas, address.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of December, 2016.
