OPINION

Opinion by: PAUL W. GREEN, Justice.

Martiniano Valle sued his insurer, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, to recover attorney's fees for the collection of State Farm's subrograted interest in an uncontested third-party claim. State Farm obtained summary judgment on the ground that Valle was not entitled to recover attorney's fees under the "common fund" doctrine. Finding no error, we affirm.
