1Opinion of the Court
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
Attorney Morris Ellis 1 appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for attorney’s fees stemming from his representation of Thomas J. Lowrance in proceedings to collect on a judgment entered in favor of Lowrance against Stephen J. Hacker. Ellis also contends that the district court erred in denying him a statutory attorney’s lien on certain funds belonging to Hacker that are currently held by the court. We affirm the judgment as to the attorney’s lien but reverse in part the denial of fees.
