What is the deference exercised in abuse of review?

The deference exercised in an abuse of discretion review "takes on special significance when reviewing fee decisions because the district court, which is intimately familiar with the nuances of the case, is in a far better position to make such decisions than is an appellate court, which must work from a cold record." McDaniel v. Cnty. of Schenectady, 595 F.3d 411, 416 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted). Upon reviewing the record, we see no reason to upset the findings of the district court. Nor do we see any basis on which to conclude that the court committed an error of law or abused its discretion.
