1Opinion of the Court
CYR, Circuit Judge.
BTZ, Inc., a former shareholder in Great Northern Nekoosa Corporation (“Great Northern”), appeals a district court order disallowing its application for an award of attorney fees against Great Northern. The fee application was predicated on the theory that the lawsuit BTZ brought against Great Northern in the United States District Court for the District of Maine caused Great Northern to capitulate to a hostile takeover by Georgia Pacific Corporation (“GPC”) which resulted in substantial benefit to other Great Northern shareholders. We affirm.
