   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2612
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Gruender and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Attorneys' Fees. As part of their settlement of this Fair 
   Labor Standards Act, the parties agreed that plaintiffs would be awarded 
   $87,500 in attorneys' fees and costs; the district court reduced the award 
   to $22,500 based, in part, on the amount the plaintiffs recovered in the 
   matter; reversed and remanded with directions to award the agreed-upon 
   amount of fees and costs; in light of the need to focus on multiple 
   factors in assessing fairness and reasonableness, and in light of the 
   strong likelihood that the parties' agreement is reasonable, the court 
   finds that any required review of the award by the district court is light 
   and that the award is not outside the range of what would be approved.
