PER CURIAM.

1

In this class action suit, the plaintiffs appeal the district court's1 order denying in part the plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act. The plaintiffs argue that the district court erred in denying attorneys' fees for all time subsequent to the settlement of the original plaintiff's individual claim on the basis that the United States' litigation position was substantially justified. After careful review of the case, we conclude that the district court committed no error. An opinion would have no precedential value. Accordingly, the decision of the district court is affirmed without opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
