We review the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo, including its interpretation of South Dakota contract law.Johnson Reg'l Med. Ctr. v. Halterman, 867 F.3d 1013, 1016 (8th Cir. 2017). Summary judgment is appropriate if, after viewing the record in the light most favorable to the non-moving party and making all reasonable inferences in its favor, there remains "no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Hairston v. Wormuth, 6 F.4th 834, 840-41 (8th Cir. 2021) (quoting McPherson v. O'Reilly Auto., Inc., 491 F.3d 726, 730 (8th Cir. 2007)); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a).
On the one hand, this court reviews de novo a district court's "prevailing party" determination in a contractual context. Johnson Reg'l Med. Ctr. v. Halterman, 867 F.3d 1013, 1020 (8th Cir. 2017). On the other hand, the court of appeals reviews an award of attorney's fees for an abuse of discretion, which review occurs when the district court commits a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors.
