Petitioner has now filed a motion for attorney’s fees and costs, requesting an award of $20,696.44 (representing $19,865.50 in fees plus $830.94 in costs). Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs (“Motion”) filed September 4, 2025, ECF No. 32. Furthermore, counsel for Petitioner represents that no personal out-of-pocket expenses were incurred. ECF No. 32 at 1.

Motion at 2-4, ECF No. 33. Petitioner filed no reply thereafter. I have reviewed the billing records submitted with Petitioner’s request. In my experience, the request appears reasonable, and I find no cause to reduce the requested hours or rates. Furthermore, Petitioner has provided supporting documentation for all claimed costs.
