Is a plaintiff entitled to a reasonable attorney's fee on appeal?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Oviatt By and Through Waugh v. Pearce, 954 F.2d 1470 (9th Cir. 1992):

Turning to the final issue, plaintiff is entitled to a reasonable attorney's fee on appeal because he is the prevailing party with regard to defendants' appeal. Because plaintiff did not prevail on his own cross appeal, he is not entitled to attorney's fees for the time spent in connection therewith. See Cabrales v. County of Los Angeles, 935 F.2d 1050, 1053 (9th Cir.1991) ("If a plaintiff ultimately wins on a particular claim, she is entitled to all attorney's fees reasonably expended in pursuing that claim--even though she may have suffered some adverse rulings").
