PHILLIPS v. ASTRUE

LEON JORDAN, District Judge

This matter is before the court on the January 28, 2010 report and recommendation filed by Chief Magistrate Judge Dennis H. Inman [doc. 25]. Magistrate Judge Inman recommended that plaintiff's motion for attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, [doc. 21] be granted. There have been no timely objections filed to this report and recommendation, and enough time has passed since its filing to treat any objections as having been waived. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

After a careful review of this matter, the court is in agreement with the magistrate judge's conclusion. The court therefore ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the report and recommendation, which the court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees [doc. 21] is GRANTED in the amount of One Thousand Four Hundred Three Dollars and Sixty-Four Cents ($1,403.64), with payment to be made directly to plaintiff's counsel [doc. 26, ex. 1].
