ORDER

GAROL MIRANDO, Magistrate Jugde.

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 22) filed on August 8, 2014. Plaintiff moves pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), for an award of attorney's fees in the amount of $812.65, and attaches the Affidavit of Plaintiff's Counsel, confirming a total of 4.50 hours worked on this matter at a rate of $180.59 per hour. Doc. 22 at 5-7. Plaintiff represents that the Commissioner has no objection to his petition. For the reasons stated herein, the Motion is granted.

Under the EAJA, a claimant is eligible for an attorney fee award where: (1) the claimant is a prevailing party in a non-tort suit involving the United States; (2) the Government's position was not substantially justified; (3) the claimant filed a timely application for attorney's fees; (4) the claimant had a net worth of less than $2 million at the time the complaint was filed; and (5) there are no special circumstances which would make the award of fees unjust. 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

In this case, the Commissioner filed an Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand, and on May 12, 2014 the Court entered an Order reversing and remanding this case to the Commissioner for further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Docs. 19, 20. Judgment was entered the same day. Doc. 21. Thus, Plaintiff is the prevailing party in this litigation. Plaintiff also asserts that the Commissioner's position in the underlying action was not substantially justified and that her net worth at the time this proceeding was filed was less than two million dollars. The Commissioner does not contest that Plaintiff meets the requirements under the EAJA, and the Court finds that all conditions have been met.

EAJA fees are "based upon prevailing market rates for the kind and quality of services furnished," not to exceed $125.00 per hour unless the Court determines that an increase in the cost of living or a special factor justifies a higher fee. 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(2)(A). Determination of the appropriate hourly rate is thus a two-step process. The Court first determines the prevailing market rate; then, if the prevailing rate exceeds $125.00, the Court determines whether to adjust the hourly rate. Meyer v. Sullivan, 958 F.2d 1029, 1033-34 (11th Cir. 1992). The prevailing market rates must be determined according to rates customarily charged for similarly complex litigation, and are not limited to rates specifically for social security cases. Watford v. Heckler, 765 F.2d 1562, 1568 (11th Cir. 1985).

As noted by the Plaintiff, he is requesting an adjusted hourly rate that is authorized by applying the cost-of-living adjustment to the $125.00 ceiling for work he performed in 2014. Because the Commissioner does not object to the adjusted hourly rate sought and it is within the rates permitted by the EAJA, the Court finds that $180.59 is an appropriate hourly rate.

Plaintiff's counsel has submitted time sheets that include an itemization of legal services performed. Doc. 22 at 5-7. Counsel spent a total of 4.50 hours of work on Plaintiff's case. After reviewing the description of the services provided, the Court concludes that the time is reasonable and properly compensable.

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby

ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 22) is GRANTED. Attorney's fees in the amount of $812.65 shall be awarded to Michael A. Steinberg and Associates pursuant to the EAJA, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). The payment shall be made payable to Plaintiff and delivered to Plaintiff's counsel, unless Plaintiff does not owe a federal debt. If the United States Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff does not owe a federal debt, the Government will accept Plaintiff's assignment of EAJA fees and pay fees directly to Plaintiff's counsel.

2. The Clerk is directed to enter a judgment as to attorney's fees in the amount of $812.65 under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).

DONE and ORDERED.
