NORTHERN DIVISION
BRET HAMRICK 	PLAINTIFF
VS. 	No. 3:25-cv-00048 PSH
Commissioner,
Social Security Administration 	DEFENDANT
ORDER
Counsel for plaintiff Bret Hamrick (“Hamrick”) filed a motion for attorney’s
fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. Doc.
No. 16. In response, defendant Commissioner of the Social Security Administration
(“Commissioner”) does not object to the requested EAJA fee of $2,955.70. 	Doc.
No. 18.
The motion is GRANTED, and the EAJA award in the amount of $2,955.70
is approved. 	There is nothing unreasonable about the hours of work performed or
the hourly rate requested. 	Because the award belongs to Hamrick, and not his
attorney, as set forth in Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586 (2010), the Department of
Treasury shall issue payment of this award by check made payable to Hamrick, in
care of his attorney, Stephanie Bartels Wallace, and shall mail the check to Ms.
Wallace at her Jonesboro, Arkansas address.
