ORDER (1) ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 37) AND (2) AWARDING $7,220.75 IN ATTORNEY FEES PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) PROVIDED HE REFUND THE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY AWARDED PURSUANT TO THE EAJA
PAUL D. BORMAN, District Judge.
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge David R. Grand's July 30, 2014 Report and Recommendation regarding Plaintiff's counsel's Motion for Attorney Fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). (Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 37). The Magistrate Judge recommends that this Court grant Plaintiff's counsel's Motion for Attorney Fees and award Plaintiff's counsel fees in the amount of $7,220.75 (which represents 25% of the past due benefits, less $6,000.00 that was paid to administrative counsel), provided that he refund the amount previously awarded by the Court pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act ($5,518.00).
Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation, and there being no timely objections from either party under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich L.R. 72.1(d), the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 37), and AWARDS Plaintiff's counsel attorney fees in the amount of $7,220.75 pursuant 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), provided that he refund the amount previously awarded by the Court pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
