The district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) appeals from the district court's grant of a writ of habeas corpus and from an award of attorney's fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). The habeas corpus appeal is now moot, but the appeal from the award of attorney's fees remains before us. We reverse the district court's grant of fees.
