costs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of
discretion an award of attorney’s fees, and review de novo the underlying legal
analysis. Tutor-Saliba Corp. v. City of Hailey, 452 F.3d 1055, 1059-60 (9th Cir.
2006). We affirm.
Contrary to appellants’ contention, the Trust’s motion for attorney’s fees and
costs was timely filed because it was filed before entry of judgment. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 54(d)(2)(B) (“Unless a statute or a court order provides otherwise, the
motion [for attorney’s fees] must . . . be filed no later than 14 days after the entry
of judgment”); Kona Enters., Inc. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 889 (9th Cir.
2000) (a Rule 54 motion for attorney’s fees is expressly conditioned on an entry of
judgment).
AFFIRMED.
