Claimant’s fees, in the total amount of $3,957.50, were denied by the respondent because the fund was exhausted.
The factual situation in this claim is identical to that in Richard K. Swartling, et al. v. Office of the State Auditor, issued on November 5, 1979. Accordingly, an award in the amount of $3,957.50 is made to the claimant.
