             The Honorable Frederic Block, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of New York, sitting by designation.
      Kevin Bogue appeals from a district court order awarding him $1,001 in

attorney’s fees. Because the district judge did not begin his fees analysis by first

calculating the lodestar, Bogue asks that we vacate the award and remand for a

recalculation of fees. See Camacho v. Bridgeport Fin., Inc., 523 F.3d 973, 982

(9th Cir. 2008). Under the circumstances, a remand for recalculation is so likely to

result in the same award that we decline to do as Bogue requests.

AFFIRMED
