ORDER

Now before the Court is the plaintiff Chad Gilbert's ("Gilbert") motion for attorney's fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. Defendant Andrew Saul ("Saul") does not oppose the motion.

The Court grants the motion and approves an EAJA award in the amount of $1,619.92 (which includes $20.07 in expenses). The Court finds nothing unreasonable about the hours of work performed or the hourly rate requested. Because the award belongs to Gilbert, and not his attorney, as set forth in Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S.Ct. 2521 (2010), the Department of Treasury shall issue payment of this award by check made payable to Gilbert, in care of his attorney, Stephanie Bartels Wallace, and shall mail the check to Ms. Wallace at her Jonesboro, Arkansas, address.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
