How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • stating that a remand requiring the agency to address a conflict in testimony was sufficient for prevailing party status
  • finding that government must justify both its position in any underlying administrative proceedings and in any subsequent court litigation
  • noting a substantially justified litigation position does not necessarily offset prelitigation conduct that was without a reasonable basis
  • describing the circumstances under which a successful litigant is entitled to recover attorney’s fees under EAJA
  • explaining “that EAJA ‘fees generally should be awarded where the government’s underlying action was unreasonable even if the government advanced a reasonable litigation position”
  • requiring a district court to determine on remand “the reasonableness of the requested fees”
