 The Court notes that the Commissioner contends that Plaintiff’s calculation of

$1,677.45 contains a mathematical error and that Plaintiff is only entitled to $1676.92. 

In making this contention, the Commissioner relies on her calculation that 7.85 hours at

a rate of $162.00 per hour is $1271.17. However, 7.85 hours at $162.00 per hour is

actually $1271.70. Plaintiff’s calculation of $1,677.45 is correct (.75 hours X $156 =

$117.00, 7.85 hours X $162.00 = $1271.70, 3.85 hours X $75.00 = $288.75, and

$117.00 + $1271.70 + $288.75 = $1,677.45).
