MEMORANDUM & ORDER
23-CV-6065 (EK)(TAM)
ERIC KOMITEE, United States District Judge:
The Court has received Magistrate Judge Merkl’s Report
and Recommendation (R&R) dated December 10, 2025. 	ECF No. 19.
Judge Merkl recommends that the Court grant plaintiff’s motion
for attorney’s fees, ECF No. 16, that plaintiff’s counsel be
awarded $19,305.00 in fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), and
that counsel reimburse plaintiff any fees received under the
Equal Access to Justice Act. 	Neither party has filed objections
and the time to do so has expired. 	Accordingly, the Court
reviews Judge Merkl’s recommendation for clear error on the face
of the record. 	See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s
note to 1983 addition; accord State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v.
Grafman, 968 F. Supp. 2d 480, 481 (E.D.N.Y. 2013).
Having reviewed the record, I find no error and
therefore adopt the R&R in its entirety. 	Thus, the motion for
Case 1:23-cv-06065-EK-TAM Document 20 Filed 02/04/26 Page 1 of 2 PageID #:

attorney’s fees is granted, and plaintiff’s counsel is awarded
$19,305.00 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). 	Counsel should
reimburse plaintiff any fees received under the Equal Access to
Justice Act.
SO ORDERED.
