For the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Court hereby orders that Plaintiff's counsel is entitled to compensation under the EAJA for: 3.10 attorney hours in 2011 at an hourly rate of $174.00, 14.38 attorney hours in 2012 at an hourly rate of $180.00, and 1.50 attorney hours in 2013, at an hourly rate of $182.00, plus 17.23 paralegal hours at an hourly rate of $75.00, for a total attorney's fee award of $ 4,693.05. This amount should be paid in addition to, and not out of, any past due benefits which Plaintiff may be awarded in the future.
