Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided March 12, 1992No. 89-55945PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Bullfrog Films, Inc. (“Bullfrog”) appeals from the district court’s order denying an award of attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”), 28 U.S.C. § 2412. The district court held that the government’s position was substantially justified. It further held that Bullfrog was not entitled to fees incurred on its post-judgment motions because those motions involved new substantive issues and were not part of the original action.
We affirm in part and reverse in part.
