Eric Tolen appeals the district court’s1 denial of his request for attorney fees in the matter of Betton v. St. Louis County, No. 4:05-cv-01455. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Tolen’s request. See Peter v. Jax, 187 F.3d 829, 833 (8th Cir.1999) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
