10 KAROL SHADOWVINE BOGLE, Civil No. 3:20-CV-05113-RSM 11 Plaintiff, ORDER 12 vs.

14 Defendant.

16 Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court awards Plaintiff attorney fees in the amount 17 of $5,237.19 in full satisfaction and settlement of any and all claims Plaintiff may have under the 18 Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) in this case. The award of attorney fees will satisfy all of 19 Plaintiff’s claims for fees, costs, and expenses under 28 U.S.C. § 2412 in this case. Any fees paid 20 belong to Plaintiff and not her attorney and can be offset to satisfy pre-existing debt that the litigant 21 owes the United States under Astrue v. Ratliff, 130 S. Ct. 2521 (2010). If counsel for the parties 22 can verify that Plaintiff owes no pre-existing debt subject to offset, Defendant agrees to direct that 23 the award be made payable to Plaintiff’s attorney pursuant to the EAJA assignment duly signed 24 by Plaintiff and counsel. 1 SO ORDERED this 8th day of March, 2021. 2
