Heading: Olson Brothers' Attorneys' Fees.

Text: 48 The district court awarded Olson Brothers attorneys' fees pursuant to Neb.Rev.Stat. § 44-359. 25 Having concluded that Olson Brothers should recover on its claim under its own insurance policy, we affirm the district court's award of $21,934.95 in attorneys' fees. The amount of attorneys' fees awarded falls within the discretion of the district court, Schmer v. Hawkeye-Security Insurance Co., 194 Neb. 94, 230 N.W.2d 216, 218 (1975), and the district court did not abuse that discretion. 26 49 In addition, because Neb.Rev.Stat. § 44-359 authorizes attorneys' fees for appellate proceedings, Olson Brothers may petition this court for its attorneys' fees on appeal by complying with the rules of this court. See 8th Cir. R. 17. 50
