Attorney For Plaintiff 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROGER L. ANDERSON 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, 

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, 

Defendant. 

 No. 2:14-cv-00708 AC (TEMP) 

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

AWARD OF EAJA FEES

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, and 

with the approval of the Court as provided below, that 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 ($7500.00). This amount represents compensation for legal services 

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

with 28 U.S.C. 2412(d). The parties additionally stipulate that Plaintiff shall be awarded costs 

under 28 U.S.C. 1920 in the amount of four hundred dollars ($400.00). 

 After the Court issues an order for EAJA fees to Plaintiff, the government will consider 

the matter of Plaintiff’s assignment of EAJA fees to Plaintiff’s attorney. Pursuant to Astrue v. 

Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (U.S. June 14, 2010), the ability to honor the assignment will depend on 

whether the fees are subject to any offset allowed under the United States Department of the 

Case 2:14-cv-00708-AC Document 24 Filed 11/18/15 Page 1 of 2

Treasury’s Offset Program. After the order to EAJA fees is entered, the government will 

determine if it is 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 shall cause the payment of fees to 

be made directly to Plaintiff’s counsel Joseph C. Fraulob, pursuant to the written assignment 

executed by Plaintiff. Any payments shall be delivered to Plaintiff’s counsel Joseph C. Fraulob. 

 This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of Plaintiff’s request for EAJA 

attorney fees and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Defendant under the 

EAJA. Payment of the agreed amount shall constitute a complete release from, and bar to, any 

and all claims that Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff’s counsel may have relating to EAJA attorney fees 

and costs in connection with this action.
