RONEY, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. It is quite apparent that the bringing of this suit precipitated the agency resolution of the issue and that plaintiff’s attorney was not informed that the agency was taking corrective action until the hearing on the preliminary injunction. In my judgment, there were no special circumstances prior to that time which would foreclose the award of fees for services up to the preliminary hearing.
