El-Mosalamy v. Loma Linda University Medical Center

32 F. App'x 483

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Hesham El-Mosalamy appeals pro se the district court’s grant of attorney’s fees in his Title VII action alleging that Loma Linda University Medical Center (“LLUMC”) discriminated against him in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion a district court’s award of attorney fees to a prevailing defendant under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k). EEOC v. Bruno’s Restaurant, 13 F.3d 285, 287 (9th Cir.1993). We affirm.

Because El-Mosalamy’s discrimination claims were frivolous, the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees to LLUMC. See Christiansburg Garment Co. v. EEOC, 434 U.S. 412, 420-22, 98 S.Ct. 694, 54 L.Ed.2d 648 (1978).

AFFIRMED.
