Before WIENER, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

This court reviews the district court's award of attorneys'
fees for abuse of discretion and the supporting factual findings
for clear error. Watkins v. Fordice, 7 F.3d 453 (5th Cir. 1993).
We have reviewed the record and the thorough order of the district
court. We find that the district court's factual findings are not
clearly erroneous and its award of attorneys' fees was not an abuse
of discretion. Therefore, the order of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
