Plaintiffs - Appellants
v.
PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INCORPORATED,
Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:12-CV-241
Before DAVIS, ELROD, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The plaintiff appellants challenge as inadequate the district court’s
$17,500 award to their attorneys in this case. The district court, which
supervised the handling of this case during its life in that court until it was
ultimately compromised for $6,000, concluded after extensive briefing and oral
argument that this was a reasonable fee.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 15-41478
After a careful review of the briefs and record we find no abuse of
discretion and affirm the district court’s award.
AFFIRMED.
