OPINION OF THE COURT
CHAGARES, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from an award of attorneys’ fees for an action brought by a union pension and welfare fund against an employer pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461 (“ERISA”). After granting a motion for summary judgment in favor of the fund, the District Court ordered the employer to pay attorneys’ fees. The employer appeals, arguing that the District Court should have dismissed the fund’s application for fees as untimely and, in the alternative, that the amount of the award was unreasonable.
