Opinion:
SUMMARY ORDER
Marion S. Mishkin Law Office ("Mish-kin") appeals from the May 20, 2015 order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Heller-stein, J.) granting her application for an award of attorneys' fees for services Mish-kin performed as liaison counsel for plaintiffs in approximately twenty-five bodily injury, non-respiratory cases relating to the events of September 11, 2001 by awarding her $48,000. We assume the parties' familiarity with .the underlying facts, procedural history, and specification of issues for review.
We review the district court's denial of an application for attorneys' fees for abuse of discretion. Scarangella v. Grp. Health, Inc., 731 F.3d 146, 151 (2d Cir.2013). Our earlier remand to the district court required the district court to examine Mish-kin's records to determine whether she kept contemporaneous time records. Marion S. Mishkin Law Office v. Lopalo, 767 F.3d 144, 149-50 (2d Cir.2014). We also noted that the district court, after determining whether Mishkin kept contemporaneous time records, was under no obligation to pay Mishkin what she sought, but could exercise its discretion to devise a fair fee. Id. at 150.
The district court complied with our mandate, and we find no error in its determination that the records she submitted do not demonstrate that she tracked her time contemporaneously, that is, kept track of the time she expended on each task as she performed her work. Our Court made clear in New York State Association for Retarded Children, Inc. v. Carey, that "any attorney . who applies for court ordered compensation in this Circuit . must document the application with contemporaneous time records_ specifying], for each attorney, the date, the hours expended, and the nature of the work done." 711 F.2d 1136, 1147-48 (2d Cir.1983). On the record as developed on remand, the attorneys' fees award by the district court is not an abuse of discretion.
We have considered the remainder of Mishkin's arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, the order of the district court hereby is AFFIRMED.
