1Opinion of the Court
ALARCON, Circuit Judge:
MRO Communications, Inc. (“MRO”) appeals from the award of $2,009,844.89 to AT & T as the prevailing party for the attorneys’ fees it incurred in defending this action against MRO’s state law claims following the rejection of AT & T’s offer of judgment. MRO contends that the district court erred in awarding attorneys’ fees based on an offer of judgment filed pursuant to Rule 68 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because the judgment was in favor of AT & T. We affirm because we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees.
