In response to our opinion issued in this appeal on April 18, 2013, University Federal

Credit Union (UFCU) has filed with the district court a remittitur reducing its award of attorneys’

fees for this appeal to $15,000. In accordance with our prior opinion, we reform the district court’s

judgment to award UFCU $15,000 in attorneys’ fees for this appeal instead of $25,000. In our

opinion issued on April 8, 2013, we overruled appellant Carolyn Barnes’s remaining issues on

appeal. Accordingly, we affirm, as reformed herein, the trial court’s judgment.
