Case No. 1:24-cv-00369
Magistrate Judge Caroline H. Gentry
(by full consent of the parties)
DECISION AND ENTRY
This case is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Stipulation for an Award of
Attorney’s Fees Under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) (Doc. No. 14).
Specifically, the parties stipulate to an award to Plaintiff of attorney fees in the amount
of $8,488.87, and costs in the amount of $00.00, in full satisfaction and settlement of
any and all claims Plaintiff may have under the EAJA in the above case. The award of
attorney fees will satisfy all of Plaintiff’s claims for fees, costs, and expenses under 28
U.S.C. § 2412 in this case. Any fees paid belong to Plaintiff, and not his attorney, and
can be offset to satisfy pre-existing debt that Plaintiff owes the United States under
Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010). Plaintiff and Defendant move that the Court
award Plaintiff EAJA fees of $8,488.87, and costs in the amount of $00.00, for a total
award of $8,488.87.
After the Court enters this award, if counsel for the parties can verify that

Plaintiff owes no pre-existing debt subject to offset, Defendant agrees to direct that the
award be made payable to Olinsky Law Group pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly
signed by Plaintiff and counsel.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. The parties’ Joint Stipulation for an Award of Attorney’s Fees
Under the EAJA (Doc. No. 14) is accepted and Defendant
shall pay Plaintiff’s EAJA fees in the amount of $8,488.87,
and costs in the amount of $00.00, for a total award of
$8,488.87;
2. Counsel for the parties shall verify, within thirty days of this
Decision and Entry, whether Plaintiff owes a pre-existing
debt to the United States subject to offset. If no such pre-
existing debt exists, Defendant shall pay the EAJA award
directly to Olinsky Law Group, Plaintiff’s counsel, pursuant
to the EAJA assignment signed by Plaintiff and counsel; and
3. The case remains terminated on the docket of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
