Annotate this CaseBefore BALDOCK, BRORBY, Circuit Judges, and KANE, Senior District Judge.*
ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
KANE, Senior District Judge.
This is an appeal from the decision of the district court denying Appellant Arthur W. Steller the right to recover attorney fees as the "prevailing party" under Oklahoma statutes on account of the fact that he did not receive affirmative judgment on the underlying merits of the claim.
We affirm the district court's decision for substantially the same reasons relying, in particular, on Howell Petroleum Corp. v. Samson Resources Co., 903 F.2d 778, 783 (10th Cir. 1990).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
Honorable John L. Kane, Jr., Senior United States District Judge for the District of Colorado, sitting by designation
