1Opinion of the Court

COLEMAN, Circuit Judge.

The opinion of the District Court in this case is reported, Keener v. Sizzler Family Steak Houses, 424 F.Supp. 482 (N.D.Tex. 1977).

As there reported, the District Court awarded $10,000 in damages and $7,000 in attorneys’ fees for breach of contract. Recovery on two antitrust claims was denied. The Keener interests have appealed on the ground that the damage and attorneys’ fees awards were inadequate. They also challenge the denial of recovery on the antitrust claims.

Sizzler Family Steak Houses cross appeals as to liability for breach of contract.

We affirm the Judgment…
