TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs-appellants Diaz-Rivera, et al. (“plaintiffs”), all former employees of the Municipality of Gurabo, Puerto Rico (“Gur-abo”), appeal the district court’s judgment in favor of defendants-appellees Rivera-Rodríguez, et al. (“defendants”), arguing that the district court erred in refusing to admit evidence in support of a failure to rehire claim. Defendants cross-appeal from the district court’s award of attorney’s fees to plaintiffs. 1 After careful review, we affirm both the judgment and the attorney’s fees award.
