No. C-10-4299 EMC

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE

JUDGE’S REPORT AND

RECOMMENDATION RE PLAINTIFF’S

COUNSEL’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO

WITHDRAW MOTION FOR

ATTORNEYS’ FEES WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

(Docket Nos. 37, 45)

Previously, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and denied

Defendant’s cross-motion. See Docket No. 24 (order). Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a motion for

attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1920. 

See Docket No. 27 (motion). The parties resolved the motion through a stipulation. See Docket

Nos. 29-30 (stipulation and order). Subsequently, Plaintiff’s counsel moved for attorney’s fees

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). See Docket No. 31 (motion). This motion was referred to Judge

James for a report and recommendation (“R&R”). See Docket No. 34 (order).

Judge James has now issued her R&R for Plaintiff’s counsel’s amended motion. See Docket

No. 37 (amended motion); Docket No. 45 (R&R). In the R&R, Judge James recommends that this

Court grant Plaintiff’s counsel’s unopposed motion to withdraw the fee motion without prejudice to

re-filing. See Docket No. 45 (R&R at 2). No party has objected to Judge James R&R.

The Court finds the R&R correct, well reasoned, and thorough, and adopts it in every

respect. Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff’s counsel’s unopposed motion to

withdraw the fee motion without prejudice to re-filing.

This order disposes of Docket Nos. 37 and 45.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
