In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text.

There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

[EX Q]: in Germantown and Eastern Montgomery County, which the County determined is causing the need to expand the highway system. In Gaithersburg East, the fact that programmed highways are expected to relieve the traffic congestion and there is no need to build unprogrammed highways provides a rational basis to treat the new development in this area differently than the new development in the existing impact districts, where unprogrammed highwa e sub judice is Chapter 808, which gives Montgomery County broad taxing authority, authority that was lacking in those other jurisdictions. See also Home Builders v. Board of Palm Beach County Comm'rs, 446 So.2d 140 (Fla.App. 4th Dist.1983), cert. denied, 451 So.2d 848 (Fla.1984), appeal dismissed, 469 U.S. 976, 105 S.Ct. 376, 83 L.Ed.2d 311 (1984) (<HOLDING>).

[EX Q]: fees, an award of reasonable fees is mandatory, as long as there is proof of reasonable fees ... and the plaintiff has been awarded damages." Mathis v. Exxon Corp., 302 F.3d 448, 462 (5th Cir.2002), citing Tex. Civ. Peac. & Rem. Code Ann. 38.001(8) (Vernon 2002). Accord Coffel v. Stryker Corp., 284 F.3d 625, 640 (5th Cir.2002) ("[t]he award of reasonable attorneys' fees is mandatory under 38.001 if the plaintiff prevails in his or her breach of contract claim and recovers damages"). The only discretion the Fifth Circuit permits is discretion to determine the amount of the attorney's fees award. See id. The availability of a section 38.001 award is not conditioned on a contractual provision for attorney's fees. See, e.g., Holland v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 1 S.W.3d 91, 95 (Tex. 1999) (<HOLDING>); Golden v. Murphy, 611 S.W.2d 914, 915

[EX Q]: 720 (1978), the court found that an article stating that the plaintiff paid agents of foreign governments to win contracts was not actionable under the UDTPA because it impugned the plaintiffs integrity, rather than the quality of his services as an executive. See also Republic Tobacco, L.P. v. N. Atl. Trading Co., 254 F.Supp.2d 985, 998 (N.D.Ill.2002). Unlike the statement in Crinkley, the statement at issue in this case impugns the quality of M & R's business and services. Stating that M & R is bankrupt directly attacks the quality of M & R's business and indirectly undermines the quality of M & R's services an insolvent company cannot reliably deliver on-going services. See also Zahran v. Nat'l Guardian Life Ins. Co., No. 90-C-907, 1993 WL 116738, at *3 (N.D.Ill. April 19, 1993) (<HOLDING>). Accordingly, we find that count four properly
Holding statements: (A) holding denial of deserved rise in performance rating may be actionable (B) holding implied false certifications must be material to the governments payment decision in order to be actionable under the false claims act (C) holding statement that plaintiff was antisemitic not actionable (D) holding that accurate statements about past performance are not actionable under the securities laws (E) holding that a false statement about a credit rating is actionable under the udtpa
