ORDER

The Missouri Department of Health and Human Services appeals from the trial court's entry of summary judgment in favor of Brooke Schreier Ganz and Reclaim the Records, a non-profit unincorporated association. DHSS argues that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering it to pay attorneys' fees totaling $137,655.02 to Ganz following a finding that DHSS knowingly and purposefully violated the Sunshine Law. Finding no error, we affirm, and remand for consideration of a motion for appellate attorneys' fees filed by Ganz and Reclaim the Records. Rule 84.16(b).
