Harrison-Belk v. Barnes
Harrison-Belk v. Barnes
Opinion
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Richie D. Barnes appeals the district court’s order awarding attorneys’ fees of $22,424, and costs of $1,494.30, to Appel-lees Cassandra Harrison-Belk, Beverly Jean Harrison, and Tanquonya Moaney, acting as Special Administratrix for the Estate of Laniee Marie Moaney, resulting from their suit for payment of overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, and other relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) (2006). We have reviewed the record and determined that the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees to Appellees. See Hitachi Credit America Corp. v. Signet Bank, 166 F.3d 614, 631 (4th Cir. 1999) (noting that a district court’s decision to award attorneys’ fees is reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, Harrison-Belk v. Barnes, No. 3:07-cv-00054-CMC, 2008 WL 2952442 (D.S.C. July 31, 2008), and deny as moot Barnes’s motion to stay the execution of judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
