MARCO A. HERNANDEZ, District Judge.
Plaintiff Jackie Scherer-Huston Winslow brought this action seeking review of the Commissioner's final decision to deny disability insurance benefits (DIB) and supplemental security income (SSI). In an April 16, 2015 Opinion & Order, I reversed the Commissioner's decision and ordered that the case be remanded for a determination of benefits. Judgment was entered on April 16, 2015.
Plaintiff now seeks an award of fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Defendant has no objection to the request. I have reviewed the record in the case, the motion, and the supporting materials including the award of benefits, the fee agreement with counsel, and the recitation of counsel's hours and services. Applying the standards set by
I grant the motion [#23] and award Plaintiff's counsel $59,127.75 in attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). Previously, I awarded Plaintiff attorney's fees in the amount of $6,405.02 under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. When issuing the section 406(b) check for payment to Plaintiff's attorney, the Commissioner is directed to subtract the amount previously awarded under EAJA and send Plaintiff's attorney the balance of $46,872.73, less any applicable processing or user fees as allowed by statute. Any amount withheld after all administrative and court attorney's fees are paid should be released to the claimant.
