The opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellants challenge the district court’s award of attorney’s fees, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1982), at a rate of $100 per hour to John T. Nockleby, Esquire. The amount of attorney’s fees awarded under § 1988 is within the discretion of the district court. See Webb v. Board of Education of Dyer County, — U.S. -, 105 S.Ct. 1923, 1928 , 85 L.Ed.2d 233 (1985) (citing Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 432 , 103 S.Ct. 1933, 1938 , 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983)). Upon consideration of the record, briefs, and oral argument, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion and, accordingly, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.
