1Opinion of the Court
O’BRIEN, Circuit Judge.
The bankruptcy court denied, in part, Houlihan, Lokey, Howard & Zukin Capital’s (Houlihan) requested professional fees in the amount of $1,920,967.74. The court determined the entire fee was unreasonable under 11 U.S.C. § 330 and reduced the amount to $904,000 for Houlihan’s services. Houlihan challenges the bankruptcy court’s reasonableness conclusion and its methodology in determining the reduced award. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d) and AFFIRM.
