UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIA E. UNDERWOOD,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, 

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:08-cv-01241-SMS

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AS UNTIMELY

(Docs. 23 & 28)

Plaintiff Maria Underwood appealed the Commissioner’s denial of Social Security

disability benefits. On June 16, 2009, this Court signed the parties’ Stipulation and Order for

Remand (Doc. 19), and the Clerk of Court entered final judgment (Doc. 20). On September 14,

2009, Plaintiff moved for attorneys’ fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (28 U.S.C. § 2412

(d)) (Doc. 23). Because Plaintiff failed to submit her claim for attorneys’ fees within thirty days

of final judgment as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (d)(1)(B), her claim was untimely. 

Accordingly, this Court hereby DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for attorneys’ fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
