Disposition notice
On November 5, 2026, U.S. Magistrate Judge Allison Claire of the Eastern District of California ordered, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, a $6,000 attorney-fee award to plaintiff Derion L. Oliver under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). The stipulation states that the court previously reversed Commissioner Frank Bisignano’s final decision and remanded for further administrative proceedings under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), with judgment entered. The award resolves EAJA fee and cost claims but preserves counsel’s right to seek fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b), subject to the EAJA’s offset and savings provisions. Payment remains subject to the stipulated Treasury offset and fee-assignment procedures. The order does not provide an independent merits analysis of the underlying benefits decision.
