What is the standard of review in the context of a fee decision?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Cline v. Touchtunes Music Corp., No. 18-1756 (2nd Cir. 2019):

clearly erroneous factual findingcannot be located within the range of permissible decisions." McDaniel v. County of Schenectady, 595 F.3d 411, 416 (2d Cir. 2010) (alterations and internal quotation marks omitted). This highly deferential standard "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." Id. (alternations and internal quotation marks omitted).
