Opinion
Petitioner, the prevailing party in Gates v.

No award under either statute is appropriate. The Employment Division did not appear in the proceeding before the Employment Appeals Board (EAB), issue the order in question or appear in opposition to petitioner in this court. Johnson v. Employment Division, 64 Or App 276, 668 P2d 416 (1983). EAB acted in this case only in a quasi-judicial capacity; no award is appropriate against it. Wasco County v.
