Before SNEED, PREGERSON, and KOZINSKI, Circuit Judges.


SNEED, Circuit Judge:

In this attorneys' fee dispute, we are asked to assess the propriety of the district court's refusal, first, to approve an attorneys' fee allocation proposal between class co-counsel; and second, to award fees at all to one counsel, applicant-appellant Jamie Chuck. Because we find the district court's decision to be reasonable under the circumstances, we affirm the judgment.

I.
