Attorney for Plaintiff,

ANNA L. MEANS

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANNA L. MEANS,

 PLAINTIFF,

 V.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Commissioner of Social Security,

 DEFENDANT.

Case No.: 2:15-CV-00327-KJM-CKD

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR THE 

AWARD OF ATTORNEY FEES 

PURSUANT TO THE EQUAL ACCESS TO 

JUSTICE ACT, 38 U.S.C. § 2412(D)

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their undersigned 

counsel, subject to the approval of the Court, that Anna L. Means (Plaintiff) be awarded attorney 

fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), in the amount of Seven 

Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00). This amount represents compensation for all legal 

services rendered on behalf of Plaintiff by counsel in connection with this civil action, in accordance 

with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1920, 2412(d).

Upon the Court’s issuance of an order granting EAJA fees to Plaintiff, the government will 

determine the issue of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees to Plaintiff’s attorney. Pursuant to Astrue 

v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586, 597-598 (2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend on if the 

fees are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of the Treasury’s Offset 

Program. After the order for EAJA fees is entered, the government will determine whether they are 

subject to any offset. 

Fees shall be made payable to Plaintiff, but if the Department of the Treasury determines that 

Plaintiff does not owe a federal debt, then the government will cause the payment of fees to be made
