1Opinion of the Court
SPROUSE, Circuit Judge:
James D. Arnold, Jr., appeals from the district court judgment awarding Fickling Enterprises and Burger King Corp. attorneys’ fees for their successful defense against his race discrimination suit. 1 Arnold argues on appeal that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees to the prevailing defendants and, alternatively, that because the award amounts, $7,189 to Fickling 2 and $3,555 to Burger King, were not reduced in light of his ability to pay, they were excessive. We disagree with both arguments and affirm the district court’s judgment.
