Text: 17 Sun Engineering contends that the district court's finding that Cabrera was not responsible for Project delays is unsupported by the record. We disagree and find that the evidence amply supports the court's findings. Mr. Cabrera, Mr. Delgado and Mr. Elas all offered uncontradicted testimony that Cabrera completed all required work on the Project. There was evidence that Cabrera did correct some deficiencies in its work after the scheduled completion date of the Project. With the exception of the testimony of Mr. Jimenez, however, the record is void of any evidence that this delay translated into any financial penalty to Sun Engineering. While Mr. Jimenez testified that Sun Engineering was financially penalized for delays which were in fact caused by Cabrera, Mr. Elas offered conflicting testimony to the effect that Sun Engineering was solely responsible for the delays. The trial court refused to credit Mr. Jimenez' testimony. It was well within the court's discretion to determine whether or not it found Mr. Jimenez to be a credible witness. See Dedham Water Co., Inc., 972 F.2d at 461. There was no error in the court's findings.
