Ronald A. Killette, et al. v. Drive-In Music, Inc.
Date: 04-30-2002
Case Number: 01-1543
Judge: Per Curiam
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Plaintiff's Attorney: R. Jeffrey Kelleher, LAW OFFICES OF ALLEN
HYMAN, North Hollywood, California, for Appellant.
Defendant's Attorney: Ira George
Greenberg, EDWARDS & ANGELL, L.L.P., New York, New York,
for Appellee.
award of attorneys' fees to E. Wayne Pittman pursuant to 17 U.S.C.A.
S 505 (West 1996), the Copyright Act's fee-shifting provision. The
district court awarded Pittman a total of $277,980 in attorneys' fees.*
Drive-In contends that the district court erred in various respects in
determining the amount of the fee award. Having had the benefit of
oral argument and having carefully considered the parties' briefs, the
record, and the relevant legal authority, we conclude that the district
court correctly resolved the issues before it. See Drive-In Music Co.
v. Killette, No. 3:91-0008 (D.S.C. Mar. 19, 2001) (order granting
attorneys' fees for work performed by Pittman's lead counsel); Drive-
In Music Co. v. Killette, No. 3:91-0008 (D.S.C. Mar. 19, 2001) (order
granting attorneys' fees for work performed by Pittman's local coun-
sel). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
