MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Stetson v. Grissom, 821 F.3d 1157 (9th Cir. 2016):

We review an award of attorney's fees for abuse of discretion. Stanger v. China Elec. Motor, Inc., 812 F.3d 734, 739 (9th Cir.2016). A district court abuses its discretion when it applies an incorrect rule of decision, or when it applies the correct rule to factual conclusions that are illogical, implausible, or without support in the record. Rodriguez v. Disner (Rodriguez II), 688 F.3d 645, 653 (9th Cir.2012). Findings of fact are reviewed for clear error; conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. Stanger, 812 F.3d at 738.
