1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Chief Judge SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III.
Opinion concurring in the result filed by Circuit Judge TAMM.
SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III, Chief Judge:
John H. Anderson prosecuted a suit in the District Court against the Internal Revenue Service under the Privacy Act of 1974.1 After prevailing on the merits, he moved for an award of attorney’s fees.2 The amount he sought was reached by placing a market value on the services his two lawyers had rendered.3 That far, Anderson’s motion gave the appearance of a matter comparatively routine in nature.
