2Per curiam
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) appeals the district court’s order granting George Rishell’s motion for attorney’s fees under Fla. Stat. § 448.08 (2016). CSC argues that the district court incorrectly concluded that the Florida statute applied in this case. Assuming the applicability of Fla. Stat. § 448.08 here, CSC nevertheless contends that the amount of the award is unreasonable because the district court failed to exclude from the award time spent by Rishell’s counsel unsuccessfully pursuing class certification. We affirm.
