1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
In this case, the defendant appeals the district court’s award of civil penalties to the plaintiff under section 502(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(c) (1982), and its award of attorneys’ fees under section 1132(g), id. § 1132(g). Because district courts have discretion to award civil penalties under section 1132(c) and attorneys’ fees under section 1132(g) and because the district court’s decision was not an abuse of its discretion, we affirm.
