1Opinion of the CourtStephan, J.
This appeal arises from a dispute between two lawyers involving fees earned before the dissolution of their partnership but collected thereafter. Following a bench trial, the district court for Douglas County found that Paul F. Peters was justified in setting off $17,620.62 from fees due his former partner, William E. Gast, from a case which Peters had concluded because Gast had underpaid Peters by that same amount in distributing fees collected on another case which Gast had concluded. Upon consideration of Gast’s appeal, we find no error and affirm.
