United States Ninth Circuit

Following plaintiff's successful challenge to the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) renewal of grazing permits in the Jarbidge Resource Area in Southern Idaho, district court's denial of plaintiff's claim for attorney's fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act is affirmed where: 1) the review of the record demonstrates that the district court considered the reasonableness of the underlying agency decision to issue grazing authorizations after the fire; and 2) the court adequately considered the reasonableness of the litigation strategy defending that decision.
