On this 17th day of April, 2014, comes on for consideration the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Erin L. Setser, dated March 17, 2014, (Doc. 14) regarding the Motion for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 11) filed by Plaintiff's counsel. More than 14 days have passed since the parties' receipt of the Report and Recommendation, and no objections were filed.
For the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Court hereby orders that Plaintiff is entitled to compensation under the EAJA for: 1.20 attorney hours at a rate of $180.00 per hour, 3.15 attorney hours at a rate of $183.00, 22 law clerk hours at a rate of $50.00 per hour, plus $350.00 in costs, for a total attorney's fee award of $2,242.45. This amount should be paid in addition to, and not out of, any past due benefits which Plaintiff may be awarded in the future.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
