Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
FAY, Circuit Judge:
This case presents the issue of whether attorneys’ fees awarded to a prevailing party can be recovered when that party moves for fees outside of the time limitation imposed by local rules. Based upon its local rule, the district court denied the attorneys’ fee motion. After considering the authority for district courts to establish local rules setting time limitations for filing motions for attorneys’ fees for the purposes of certainty and consistency, and finding no merit in arguments against the validity of the subject rule, we affirm.
