ORDER
LARSEN, United States Magistrate Judge.
Before the court is plaintiffs motion for attorney’s fees in the amount of $6,576.00 (25% of plaintiffs accrued benefits, or $9,147.50, minus Equal Access to Justice Act fees of $1,193.75 and $1,377.75 previously received). I find that plaintiffs attorney is entitled to the contingent fee amount, only so far as it relates to the percentage of work performed by him versus his paralegal. Therefore, plaintiffs attorney will be awarded $2,729.78 of the amount previously withheld from plaintiffs accrued benefits.
