A. WALLACE TASHIMA, District Judge:
This is an appeal from the district court’s decision awarding to the attorney for appellant Pías M. Allen (Allen or appellant) attorney’s fees far lower than the fees provided under the 25 percent contingent fee agreement between appellant and his attorney. Appellant argues that the district court erred by computing the fee under the lodestar method, with no weight given to the contingent fee agreement. We have jurisdiction to review the district court’s decision pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
