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.

The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Q: 286 (1996). Instead, "[a]pportionment of a fee award between fees incurred on a contract cause of action and those incurred on other causes of action is within the trial court's discretion." Id. In this case, appellants do not challenge the district court's conclusion that Datacom's tort and contract claims were inextricably intertwined. Therefore, we affirm the attorney's fee award against Datacom. However, Moore was not a party to the Charter contract, or to Datacom's causes of action based on contract. As a result, Moore would not have been entitled to fees against Charter had Moore prevailed on his tort claims. We therefore hold Charter is not entitled to fees from Moore by prevailing on contract claims against Datacom. See Abdallah, 43 Cal.App.4th at 1111, 51 Cal.Rptr.2d 286 (<HOLDING>); Hsu v. Abbara, 9 Cal.4th 863, 870, 39
