Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Sedgewick Homes, LLC, appeals the district court’s order granting the Appellees’
motions for attorney’s fees and costs under
17 U.S.C. § 505. We review an award of
attorney’s fees for abuse of discretion. See Zoroastrian Ctr. & Darb-E-Mehr of Metro.
Wash., D.C. v. Rustam Guiv Found. of N.Y.,
822 F.3d 739, 754(4th Cir. 2016). We have
thoroughly reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, and we find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Sedgewick Homes, LLC v. Bivins,
No. 5:16-cv-00049-GCM (W.D.N.C. July 17, 2019). We decline to award additional
attorney’s fees on appeal. 4th Cir. R. 46(e). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
