   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2919
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Contracts. The award of attorney's fees to plaintiff based on 
   its success on its breach of contract claim is affirmed; an award of 
   attorney's fees in not mandatory under the Arkansas Deceptive Trade 
   Practices Act; the Act establishes an independent basis for awarding fees, 
   and the Act does not restrict awards to only the party that prevails in 
   whatever larger litigation involves a claim under the Act; the district 
   court erred, therefore, in concluding that since plaintiff was the 
   prevailing party on its breach of contract claim, Arkansas Code Sec. 
   16-22-308 precluded an award of fees to defendant on its successful claim 
   under the Act; remanded for further proceedings.
