BRIC, acting pursuant to Rule 38, Ala.R.App.P., requests an award of attorney fees and costs against the City, contending the City filed a "frivolous appeal." BRIC also requests an award of attorney fees and costs against the City pursuant to the Alabama Litigation Accountability Act, § 12-19-270, Ala. Code 1975, asserting that the City's appeal lacks "substantial justification." We conclude that the City's appeal was not frivolous and that it did not lack substantial justification; therefore, we deny BRIC's requests.
REQUESTS FOR ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS DENIED; APPLICATION OVERRULED.
Hooper, C.J., and Houston, Cook, Lyons, Brown, Johnstone, and England, JJ., concur.
See, J., recuses himself. *Page 1205
