United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Giullian STEELE; Raul Aleman; Yury X. Bastos; Jarrod Denyer; Susan McMillan, et al Plaintiffs-Appellants Cross-Appellees v. LEASING ENTERPRISES, LIMITED, Defendant-Appellee Cross-Appellant

No. 16-20779

Decided: February 14, 2018

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

Howard L. Steele, Jr., Shreedhar Rajnikant Patel, Steele Law Group, P.L.L.C., Houston, TX, for Plaintiffs-Appellants Cross-Appellees Lionel Mark Schooler, Esq., Richard Andrew Howell, Jackson Walker, L.L.P., Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellee Cross-Appellant

The appellants challenge the district court’s determination of the amount of attorneys’ fees awarded on remand in this Fair Labor Standards Act case. Steele v. Leasing Enters., Ltd., 826 F.3d 237 (5th Cir. 2016). The appellee cross-appeals only as to the fee award for appellate work. We have considered this matter on the basis of the briefs, the record, the applicable law, and oral argument. Having done so, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining the amount of attorneys’ fees awarded. Thus, we AFFIRM.
