Hampson, was damaged by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. The personal representative for the estate, Timothy R. Hampson (\u201cHampson\u201d) made a claim for damages under the standard flood insurance policy (\u201cSFIP\u201d) covering the property. When Hampson sued Wright National Flood Insurance Company, a Write Your Own (\u201cWYO\u201d) carrier, for breach of the insurance contract, Hampson also sought an award of attorney\u2019s fees, costs and case expenses under the Equal Justice to Access Act (the \u201cEAJA\u201d), 28 U.S.C. \u00a7 2412.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1980, Congress enacted the EAJA and significantly expanded the federal government\u2019s liability to pay the attorney\u2019s fees of parties that prevail against the government in litigation or administrative proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A party may recover attorney\u2019s fees and costs under the EAJA as the prevailing party in a case \u201cbrought by or against the United States. . . unless the court finds that the position of the United States was substantially justified.\u201d<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;The statute defines \u201cUnited States\u201d to include \u201cany agency and any official of the United States acting in his or her official capacity.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wright filed a motion to dismiss Hampson\u2019s claims for attorneys\u2019 fees, costs, and case expenses under the EAJA. Wright argued that Hampson could not recover attorneys\u2019 fees, costs, and case expenses under the EAJA against a WYO carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief District Judge K. Michael Moore of the Southern District of Florida agreed:<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>[A]ttorney\u2019s fees are not recoverable under the EAJA in cases for breach of an SFIP brought against a WYO program insurance carrier participating in the United States Government\u2019s NFIP because WYO carriers are not considered \u201cagencies\u201d under the EAJA.&nbsp;<em>Dwyer v.
