Heading: Pink's

Text: Pink's seeks an award of attorney's fees under I.R.C.P. 54(e). Rule 54(e)(1) provides for the award of attorney's fees to a prevailing party when provided for by any statute or contract. Although Pink's does not indicate upon which statute it relies in its request for attorney's fees, it states in its brief that an award under Rule 54(e) is warranted where the opposing party advances their position frivolously, unreasonably or without foundation. This language suggests that Pink's seeks fees under I.C. § 12-121. We decline, however, to award attorney's fees under § 12-121 because the Sammises' position on appeal was not unreasonable or frivolous. See Thompson, 125 Idaho at 901, 876 P.2d at 599 (citing Minich, 99 Idaho at 918, 591 P.2d at 1085). See also I.R.C.P. 54(e)(1).
