Gilbert Lane appeals the district court's judgment in favor of defendant prison officials following a bench trial on Lane's claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendant prison officials cross-appeal from the district court's order denying their motion for the return of interim attorney's fees.
The district court's order granting judgment in favor of defendants-appellees is AFFIRMED for the reasons set forth in the well-written, well-reasoned opinion of the district court. The district court's order denying the return of interim attorney's fees is also AFFIRMED.
Lane's application for attorney's fees on appeal is DENIED. Each party is to bear its own costs on appeal.
SO ORDERED.
The panel unanimously found this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.Rule 34-4
