ROBINSON v. CITY OF BATON ROUGE PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

George W. ROBINSON, Jr.; Demetra Parsons Robinson Plaintiffs-Appellees v. CITY OF BATON ROUGE/PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE; Planning and Zoning Commission for the City of Baton Rouge Defendants-Appellants

No. 17-30512

Decided: November 06, 2018

Before SMITH, WIENER, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

John Randall Whaley, Whaley Law firm, Baton Rouge, LA, Lauren Fajoni Bartlett, Attorney, Jeffrey Scott Loeb, Loeb Law Firm, Mandeville, LA, for Plaintiffs-Appellees Courtney King Humphrey, Parish Attorney's Office for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, LA, for Defendants-Appellants

After prevailing on a series of motions and, eventually, a jury trial, Defendants-Appellants sought costs and attorneys fees. The trial court exercised its discretion in its Ruling and Order of May 22, 2017, by denying both attorneys fees and costs to the prevailing parties.

We have now reviewed the record on appeal, including the briefs of the parties and the above-said Ruling and Order of the district court, and we are satisfied that there was no abuse of discretion or other error by the district court in its denial of attorneys fees and costs.

AFFIRMED.
