Before HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:

In 2008, Albert Autry sued the Fort Bend Independent School District ("FBISD"), alleging that the district's decision to hire a Caucasian woman in lieu of promoting Autry amounted to race discrimination in violation of Title VII. The district court granted summary judgment to FBISD and ordered Autry to pay attorneys' fees. We affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment but vacate its fee award.
