1Opinion of the Court
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.
Following its victory on the merits of these appeals, see 69 F.3d 1312 (1995), the Central States Pension Fund requested an award of attorneys’ fees under § 502(g)(2)(D) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g)(2)(D). The district court awarded the Fund the fees incurred in that forum, concluding that the employers’ position was not substantially justified, and the Fund submits that the appeal was no better justified. Central States Pension Fund v. Joe McClelland, Inc., 23 F.3d 1256 (7th Cir.1994), supports that conclusion. See also Continental Can Co. v. Chicago Truck Drivers…
