Heading: Remand for Reasonableness Determination.

Text: 59 The Commissioner has not challenged plaintiff's computation of her claimed attorney fees. As a result, we could simply remand this matter to the district court for an award of all the EAJA fees that plaintiff has requested. See Golembiewski v. Barnhart, 382 F.3d 721, 723 (7th Cir.2004). But given the fact that plaintiff's fee award will come out of the public fisc, we believe the better course is to remand this matter to the district court with instructions for the court to consider and determine the reasonableness of the requested fees and the upward cost of living adjustment. 60 The order entered by the district court denying plaintiff's application for an award of reasonable attorney fees under EAJA is REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Specifically, on remand, the district court shall consider and determine the reasonableness of the attorney fees and cost of living adjustment that plaintiff is seeking, and the court shall then enter an appropriate order granting plaintiff's EAJA application.
