1Opinion of the Court

WIENER, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff-Appellant, Jerry Von Clark (Clark), prevailed in a civil rights suit against Defendant-Appellee, Jerry Bruce Butler (Butler), and was awarded attorney’s fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Clark appeals the amount of attorney’s fees awarded him as prevailing party, claiming that the district court erred in determining the hourly rate and the number of hours for which Clark was entitled to be compensated. Finding that the district court did not commit clear error or abuse its discretion, we affirm the award.
