CLARK, Circuit Judge:

James appeals from a district court order denying his application for attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (1982) (EAJA). Relying on dicta in Gold Kist, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Agriculture, 741 F.2d 344 (11th Cir.1984), modified, 751 F.2d 1155 (1985), the district court reasoned the fee application was untimely because it was not filed within thirty days of its final judgment.
