United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

October 6, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rudy M. Groom, Houston, Tex., for appellant. Dougal C. Pope, Houston, Tex., pro se.

Mark A. Stewart, Fulton, Tex., for appellee.

Before POLITZ, GARWOOD and JOLLY, Circuit Judges.

E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge:

Dougal C. Pope, the attorney for the debtors in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, appeals from a judgment of the district court upholding the bankruptcy court's determination that his $15,000 attorney's fee was excessive. Pope contends that the court should have allowed the entire $15,000 fee pursuant to the terms of a "contingent" fee contract between Pope and the debtors. We affirm the judgment.
