The district court's order granting judgment in favor of defendants-appellees is AFFIRMED for the reasons set forth in the well-written, well-reasoned opinion of the district court. The district court's order denying the return of interim attorney's fees is also AFFIRMED.
Lane's application for attorney's fees on appeal is DENIED. Each party is to bear its own costs on appeal.
