1Opinion of the Court
LINN, Circuit Judge.
Elie Halpern (“Halpern”) appeals from the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans’ Court”) dismissing his application for attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A) (2000). Halpern v. PrincipI 17 Vet.App. 225 (2003) (“Halpern V’). Although the Veterans’ Court applied the wrong legal standard, as a matter of law we conclude that Halpern is not a prevailing party under the appropriate legal standard. Thus, we affirm the decision of the Veterans’ Court denying Halpern’s EAJA application.
