Before BYE, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.
       Eric Tolen appeals the district court’s1 denial of his request for attorney fees in
the matter of Betton v. St. Louis County, No. 4:05-cv-01455. We conclude that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Tolen’s request. See Peter v. Jax,
187 F.3d 829, 833 (8th Cir. 1999) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
