IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

RONNIE MYATT PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:14-cv-00249 PSH

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner DEFENDANT

of the Social Security Administration

ORDER

Plaintiff Ronnie Myatt (“Myatt”) has filed the pending motion for an award of

attorney’s fees and other expenses under the provisions of the Equal Access to Justice

Act. See Document 18. In the motion, he seeks fees and expenses totaling $2,377.32. The

Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration has no objection to the amount

of fees and expenses requested by Myatt. See Document 20.

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

hours of work performed, the hourly rate requested, or the amount of expenses

requested. The motion is granted, and fees and expenses totaling $2,377.32 are awarded

to Myatt. Because the award belongs to Myatt, and not his attorney, see Astrue v. Ratliff,

— U.S. —, 130 S.Ct. 2521, 177 L.E.2d 91 (2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue

Case 3:14-cv-00249-PSH Document 21 Filed 01/05/16 Page 1 of 2

W. Bartels (“Bartels”), and shall mail the check to Bartels at his Jonesboro, Arkansas,

address.

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