LINDA MYRICK, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 406(B)
Honorable Richard A. Jones United States District Judge.
THIS MATTER having come on regularly before the undersigned upon Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Fees Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§ 406(b), the Court having considered the contentions of Plaintiff and Defendant, good cause having been shown for entry of the Order, now therefore, it is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiff's attorney Amy Gilbrough is allowed an attorney fee of $9,846.50, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Ms. Gilbrough already received a payment under the Equal Access to Justice Act totaling $3,852.95. The remaining amount to be paid is $5,993.55.
If the Social Security Administration is still withholding this amount, it is directed to send this amount to Plaintiff's attorney, Amy Gilbrough, minus any applicable fees ordered by statute. If the Commissioner has not withheld past-due benefits sufficient to satisfy this order and Plaintiff's attorney reports she is unable to collect the fee from the claimant, the Commissioner will satisfy this order via the procedures in the Program Operation Manual System (POMS) GN 03920.055C.
