MESKILL, Circuit Judge.
This appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Platt, /., ostensibly concerns whether the law firm of Binder & Binder P.C. is entitled to $1,200 in attorney’s fees that it earned representing a Social Security claimant or whether Binder’s recovery is barred by the claimant’s subsequent bankruptcy.
