United States Ninth Circuit
CHAMPION PRODUCE, INC. v. RUBY ROBINSON CO., INC., 01-35887/93
The cost-shifting provision of FRCP 68 does not permit an award of post-offer attorneys' fees when the underlying state statute authorizes an award of attorneys' fees to a prevailing party as part of costs, but when the party seeking attorneys' fees under the rule is not a prevailing party within the meaning of that statute.
