Case No. 07-C-0208.
December 18, 2009
ORDER
I previously remanded this social security case on the parties' joint motion, then awarded attorney's fees in the amount of $4386 under the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. On remand, the Commissioner found plaintiff disabled and awarded back benefits. Plaintiff now seeks approval of attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). See Koester v. Astrue, 482 F. Supp. 2d 1078, 1080 (E.D. Wis. 2007) (discussing § 406(b) standards). The Commissioner does not oppose the request, which I find reasonable.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for an award of attorney's fees (R. 24) is GRANTED, and plaintiff's counsel, David Traver, is awarded fees in the amount of $978.00.
