EarthCam, Inc. v. OxBlue Corp.

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided September 27, 2016No. 16-10363Published

1Per curiam

The issues raised in this appeal are whether the District Court erred in awarding appellee attorney’s fees under Georgia’s offer of settlement statute, O.C.G.A. § 9-11-68, in a case involving federal question claims and pendant state law claims, and if not, whether the Court abused its discretion in determining the amount of appellee’s attorney’s fees and expenses.

Nor do we find abuse of discretion in the amount the Court awarded appellee.
