                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Oregon
                    Ancer L. Haggerty, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted February 11, 2013 **

Before:        FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.

       Tim Wilborn, the attorney of record for Marta Mansfield and the real-party-

in-interest, appeals from the district court’s order granting in part his motion for

attorney’s fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) based on a contingent-fee agreement with

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Mansfield. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse

of discretion, Crawford v. Astrue, 586 F.3d 1142, 1147 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc),

and we affirm.

       The district court did not abuse its discretion by reducing the fees from the

percentage specified in Wilborn’s fee agreement based on the court’s assessment,

under the appropriate legal standard, of what fees were reasonable given the risk

and complexity involved in this case. See id. at 1152-53 (explaining that courts

should assess the complexity and risk involved in the specific case at issue, rather

than social security cases in general, when analyzing the reasonableness of the

requested fees); see also Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789, 808 (2002) (“Judges

of our district courts are accustomed to making reasonableness determinations in a

wide variety of contexts, and their assessments in such matters, in the event of an

appeal, ordinarily qualify for highly respectful review.”); Clark v. Astrue, 529 F.3d

1211, 1214 (9th Cir. 2008) (“The district court abuses its discretion if it does not

apply the correct legal standard or rests its decision on a clearly erroneous finding

of fact.”).

       AFFIRMED.
