Trista Jones v. RK Enterprises of Blytheville

672 F. App'x 613

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal following a remand, see Trista Jones v. RK Enterprises of Blytheville, Inc., 632 Fed.Appx. 306 (8th Cir. 2016) (unpublished per curiam), Trista Jones appeals from an order of the district court 1 granting a reduced award of attorney’s fees. We conclude the district court properly determined the attorney’s fee award in accordance with the lodestar approach and Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 433-34, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983). We also conclude the court was within its discretion in reducing the award based on the limited success achieved. See H.J. Inc. v. Flygt Corp., 925 F.2d 257, 260-61 (8th Cir. 1991). Finally, Jones is not entitled to fees for this appeal as she is not a prevailing party. Cf. 8th Cir. R. 47C.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 . The Honorable Billy Roy Wilson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
