1Opinion of the Court

TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.

In this ease a discrimination plaintiff, Mike Akrabawi, appeals from the denial of motions for a new trial and for attorneys fees following a jury verdict in favor of his employer, the Carnes Company, in a Title VII national origin case. Meanwhile, the Carnes Company appeals from the denial of a motion for attorneys fees following the jury verdict on Akrabawi’s claims. Carnes also cross-appeals from the denial of a motion for a new trial following a jury verdict in favor of Akra-bawi on Carnes’ tort claim for misrepresentation. We affirm across the board.
