OPINION OF THE COURT
ADAMS, Circuit Judge.
This case presents a labyrinthine question concerning the calculation of attorney fees for representation of a Social Security disability insurance claimant. The district court concluded that the method employed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for determining the attorney fee in this proceeding was not consistent with the relevant statute, 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1) (1982), and ordered a different calculation. Because we believe that SSA’s resolution of the problem is within its discretion, we will reverse the judgment of the district court.
