GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Wesley Johnson appeals from the district court’s award of attorney’s fees to plaintiff Reed in her suit pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Johnson argues that the district court * Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 96-30888 -2- abused its discretion in awarding attorney’s fees. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, the judgment is AFFIRMED for essentially the reasons stated by the district court. We AWARD Reed appellate attorney’s fees and REMAND to the district court for a determination of the amount of the award.
