111925P.pdf   04/12/2012  United States  v.  Bobby Hurt
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1925
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Chief Judge, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Equal Access to Justice Act. In action alleging defendants had engaged in a pattern or practice of sex discrimination in the rental of housing in violation of the Fair Housing Act, while a jury found for defendants, the district court erred in granting defendants' request for an award of attorneys' fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act because the court improperly considered the case as consisting of ten individual victims' claims for separate assessment, rather than as a single pattern or practice claim; when viewed correctly, the government's position as a whole was substantially justified.
