(Corrects headline and 2nd paragraph to say Bandera Partners, not Bandera Capital)

NEW YORK, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Casual dining chain Luby's Inc. said on Friday that it beat back a long-term shareholder's bid for four board seats when investors sided with management and elected all nine of the company's director nominees.

Investors supported all of Luby's directors ending a battle between the company and Bandera Partners, a small New York-based hedge fund that owns roughly 10 percent of Luby's shares and demanded more accountability and oversight by the board.
