1Opinion of the Court

MILBURN, Circuit Judge.

In this action for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, plaintiff appeals from two orders of the district court. First, plaintiff argues the court erred in determining the amount of attorney fees for which the Secretary is liable under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“the EAJA”), 42 U.S.C. § 2412.
