CRICHTON, J.,
additionally concurs and assigns reasons.
_JjI agree with the majority's decision to deny the writ, as I believe it lacks Rule X considerations. "The appellate court re views an award of attorney's fees for an abuse of discretion. The district .court's factual determinations will not be set aside absent manifest error." Covington v. McNeese State Univ., 12-2182, p. 6 (La.5/7/13), 118 So.3d 343, 348. (citations omitted). As the applicant has demonstrated no abuse of the trial court's discretion, I see no reason to impede the lamentably belated conclusion of this epic two-decade litigation.
