   MEMORANDUM

Han Kamakani Phua and Abel Simeona Lui appeal pro se from the district court’s order granting the Edmund C. Olson Trust’s motion for attorney’s fees and costs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion an award of attorney’s fees, and review de novo the underlying legal analysis. Tutor-Saliba Corp. v. City of Hailey, 452 F.3d 1055, 1059-60 (9th Cir.2006). We affirm.

Contrary to appellants’ contention, the Trust’s motion for attorney’s fees and costs was timely filed because it was filed before entry of judgment. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(d)(2)(B) (“Unless a statute or a court order provides otherwise, the motion [for attorney’s fees] must .. •. be filed no later than 14 days after the entry of judgment”); Kona Enters., Inc. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 889 (9th Cir.2000) (a Rule 54 motion for attorney’s fees is expressly conditioned on an entry of judgment).

AFFIRMED.
