WINTER, Circuit Judge:
Philips Business Systems, Inc. (“PBSI”) appeals from a judgment dismissing its claims brought under the Robinson-Patman Act against two of its distributors, Executive Communications Systems, Inc. (“Executive”) and Don A. Carlos (“Carlos”). PBSI also appeals from an order awarding $59,342 in attorney’s fees to Executive and Carlos. Executive and Carlos cross appeal, seeking attorney’s fees for time spent litigating the fee issue. We affirm the dismissal of the actions but reverse the attorney’s fee award. We affirm on the cross-appeal.
