After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unani mously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9 . 

submitted without oral argument. 

* 

The case is therefore ordered 

This order and judgment has no pre cedential value and shall 

not be cite d, or use d by any court within the Tenth Ci rcuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

Appellate Case: 91-6100 Document: 010110247692 Date Filed: 05/12/1992 Page: 1
Plaintiff appeals from a district court order awarding 

attorney's fees to the prevailing Defendants in this wrongful 

termination action brought under state and federal law. We review 

the award solely for an abuse of the district court's discretion. 

See, e.g., Allen v. Denver Pub. Sch. Bd., 928 F.2d 978, 986 {10th 

Cir. 1991); Igbal v. Golf Course Superintendents Ass'n, 900 F.2d 

227, 228 (10th Cir. 1990). Plaintiff's various assignments of 

error fail to demonstrate any grounds for reversal under this 

standard. 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

Western District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED.
