Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Chief Judge.
In this appeal, we are asked to determine whether the district court abused its discretion in awarding attorney’s fees to prevailing defendants in an action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461. Applying the settled law of this circuit, we find that the district court’s order awarding attorney’s fees to the third-party defendants-appellees was indeed an abuse of discretion and, therefore, we reverse.
