1Opinion of the Court
J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
The John Martin Company, et al. (JMC), appeal an award of $807.50 in attorneys’ fees on the ground that the district court abused its discretion in calculating the amount of the award. Don Diamond, et al. (Diamond), cross-appeal, arguing that the post-judgment motion for fees was not timely filed. Our review leads us to conclude that the fees motion was timely filed and that the award of fees, although very small in relationship to the original request, was not an abuse of discretion in light of the circumstances of this case.
