1Opinion of the Court
MESKILL, Circuit Judge:
This action is before us on appeal from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, Blumenfeld, J, granting plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (1982) (EAJA). The court held that the government’s position in litigation was not substantially justified so that a fee award to plaintiffs was proper. Because we disagree with the court’s conclusion, we reverse. We also dismiss plaintiffs’ cross-appeal concerning the amount and calculation of the award.
