CARLOS E. MENDOZA, District Judge.
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Award of Attorney Fees (Doc. 23). United States Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly submitted a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 24), in which he recommends that the Court grant the motion to the extent that it requests $5,008.12 in attorney's fees and that the Court otherwise deny the motion. Specifically, Judge Kelly recommends that the Court reject Plaintiff's request that the attorney's fees be paid directly to Plaintiff's counsel. (Id. at 3).
After a de novo review of the record, and noting that no objections were timely filed, the Court agrees with the Report and Recommendation. It is therefore ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 24) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2. Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Award of Attorney Fees (Doc. 23) is GRANTED to the extent it seeks an award of attorney's fees in the amount of $5,008.12.
3. Plaintiff is awarded attorney's fees in the amount of $5,008.12.
4. In all other respects, the motion is DENIED. The Commissioner may, in her discretion, pay all or part of the attorney's fees directly to Plaintiff's counsel should she determine that it is appropriate to do so.
DONE and ORDERED.
