Heading: Attorneys' Fees on Count V

Text: The trial court refused to award Leon attorneys' fees under Count V on the ground that the claim was not one on open account. See NMSA 1978, § 36-2-39 (Repl.Pamp. 1984). We think the trial court was correct in denying open account status to the claim, but even if we assume the claim to be one on open account, the allowance of attorneys' fees is entirely discretionary with the court. Audio-Visual Marketing Corp. v. Omni Corp., 545 F.2d 715, 718 (10th Cir.1976) (citing Trujillo v. Romero, 82 N.M. 301, 481 P.2d 89 (1971)). Failure to award attorneys' fees provides no ground for reversal. For all the reasons stated herein, the judgment of the trial court is AFFIRMED. SOSA, Senior Justice, and FEDERICI, J., concur.
