Bachman v. Laughlin (In Re McKeeman)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
SCHERMER, Bankruptcy Judge.
Debtors’ Chapter 13 counsel appeals the bankruptcy court’s 1 order reducing his attorney fee request on the grounds that the court abused its discretion by considering the hourly rate and number of hours typically charged in a Nebraska Chapter 13 case and by refusing to award compensation at counsel’s full hourly rate for travel time. Because the court made a lodestar calculation in determining reasonable compensation, the court did not abuse its discretion and we affirm.
