ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, TACHA, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

Appellant Rogelio Gomez-Arauz appeals from an order of the 

district court denying his request for attorneys' fees pursuant to 

the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 u.s.c. § 1412(d). On appeal, 

appellant claims that the district court erred by concluding the 

appellee's position was substantially justified and that special 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

circumstances existed that would make an award of attorneys' fees 

unjust. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 

AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court. 

The appellant's motion to file an additional appendix is granted. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
