ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR ATTORNEY FEES THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Attorney Fees Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act. (Doc. 29).

See 28 U.S.C. § 2412(c)(1); see also Astrue v. Ratliff, 560 U.S. 586, 598 (2010) (EAJA fees are paid to the prevailing party, not the attorney). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, if Plaintiffs counsel receives attorney fees under both the EAJA and 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) of the Social Security Act, Plaintiffs counsel shall refund the smaller award to Plaintiff. See Weakley v. Bowen, 803 F.2d 575, 580 (10th Cir. 1986).
