A jury acquitted Daniel Charles Gerard Turno of making a false statement in a loan application, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 1014 (West Supp. 2011). Turno applied to the district court for attorney’s fees and other litigation expenses, pursuant to the Hyde Amendment, 18 U.S.C.A. § 3006A (West 2000 & Supp. 2011). The district court denied Turno’s motion and Turno now appeals.

The burden of proof in a Hyde Amendment action is on the claimant, rather than the Government. In re 1997 Grand Jury, 215 F.3d 430, 435 n. 7 (4th Cir. 2000). We review a district court’s decision under the Hyde Amendment for abuse of discretion. Id. at 436. For Turno to prevail, he must show that the Government’s position was vexatious, frivolous, or in bad faith. *

Our review of the record does not show that the Government’s position was vexatious, frivolous, or made in bad faith. Accordingly, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Turno’s motion for attorney’s fees and other litigation expenses. We affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
