ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
On petition for rehearing Shark asserts that he is entitled to attorney’s fees because he was represented by attorneys Ralph Maxwell and Peter B. Crary throughout this litigation. Even if those attorneys did some of the work, which Shark says they did, for which they would be entitled to compensation, we conclude that there was substantial justification for the actions by the PSC under the standard set forth in Section 28-32-21.1, N.D.C.C. Accordingly, we deny the petition for rehearing.
VANDE WALLE, Acting C.J., LEVINE and MESCHKE, JJ., and LAWRENCE E. JAHNKE, District Judge, concur.
LAWRENCE E. JAHNKE, District Judge, sitting in place of ERICKSTAD, C.J., disqualified.
GIERKE, J., a member of the Court when this case was heard and decided, resigned effective November 20, 1991, to accept appointment to the United States Court of Military Appeals and did not participate in the Petition for Rehearing.
