MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Zumstein v. Great-West Life Assur. Co., 967 F.2d 597 (9th Cir. 1992):
We also review the award of attorney's fees for abuse of discretion. Smith v. Retirement Fund Trust, 857 F.2d 587, 592 (9th Cir.1988). In this case, the district court correctly identified the factors to consider in deciding whether to award fees. See id. We hold that it did not abuse its discretion in weighing those factors. Great-West does not challenge the amount of fees awarded.
