1Opinion of the Court
RILEY, Circuit Judge.
Tri-State Financial, LLC (TSF) appeals the district court’s finding that TSF formed an enforceable settlement agreement with North Central Construction, Inc. (NCC) 1 on June 21, 2004, during bankruptcy proceedings for Tri-State Ethanol (TSE). 2 NCC cross-appeals, claiming the district court abused its discretion by denying NCC reasonable attorney fees.
