Federal Circuit -- Conservation Force v. Kenneth Salazar

 Suit didn't qualify as a citizen suit under the Endangered Species Act, so no fees for Plaintiff.

Specific statutory duties that Agcy omitted weren't sufficient nonfeasance to trigger award of fees for citizen suit.

Much close parsing of the relevant statutes.
