UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL LONG,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 01cv1606 BTM (AJB)

ORDER RE: COUNSEL’S MOTION

FOR RELIEF FROM PRIOR

JUDGMENT [Doc. #40]

vs.

JO ANNE B. BARNHART, Commissioner

of Social Security,

Defendant.

On October 17, 2006, this Court, sua sponte, issued an order indicating its willingness

to entertain a motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) for relief from its earlier judgment in this

case denying the request of Plaintiff’s counsel, Young Cho (“Counsel”), for an award of

attorney fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). If Counsel wished to present such a motion

to this Court, he was directed to first move the Ninth Circuit for a remand of this case.

Counsel requested and was granted a limited remand and he then filed the present motion

pursuant to Rule 60(b).

Counsel has requested $10,700 in fees for his representation before this Court. This

amount, when added to the $5,300 he received for his work in administrative proceedings,

yields a total requested fee of $16,000. According to Counsel, this figure represents 25%

of the approximately $64,000 in past-due benefits that were awarded to his client. However,

the Court has been unable to locate any award notice from the Social Security Administration

indicating the total past-due benefits that were ultimately awarded to Plaintiff Long.

Accordingly, Counsel is hereby requested to file a supplemental declaration indicating

the total past-due benefits awarded to his client and attaching an award notice evidencing

that figure. The supplemental declaration shall be filed on or before June 4, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
