OPINION
WIDENER, Circuit Judge:
Appellant, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, appeals the district court’s order granting $315,083.35 in attorneys’ fees and $28,568.86 in expenses to the appellees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(b). The issue is whether the district court erred in finding the Secretary acted in bad faith in defense of litigation initiated by the plaintiff-class, and whether the district court erred in the determination of the amount of fees granted. We affirm.
