ORDER1
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Mac R. McCoy's Report and Recommendation ("R&R"). (Doc. 129). Judge McCoy recommends approving the parties' Joint Amended Proposed Notice (Docs. 125; 125-1). The parties filed a Joint Notice of No Objection (Doc. 130). So the matter is ripe for review.
A district judge "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732, 732 (11th Cir. 1982). Without a specific objection, the judge need not review factual findings de novo. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). But the district court reviews legal conclusions de novo, even without an objection. Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
After a careful, complete, and independent examination of the file, the Court accepts and adopts Judge McCoy's R&R in full. This was the last outstanding issue before the now-approved notice and consent forms can issue. So the parties are authorized to begin the notice process in accordance with their stipulated procedures for issuing notice (Doc. 87 at 3-5).
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 129) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED and the findings incorporated herein.
2. The parties' Notice of Filing Joint Amended Proposed Notice (Doc. 125), construed as a motion seeking approval of the parties' Joint Amended Proposed Notice (Doc. 125-1), is APPROVED.
3. The parties are AUTHORIZED to begin the notice process in accordance with their stipulated procedures for issuing notice to the putative opt-in plaintiffs (Doc. 87 at 3-5).
DONE and ORDERED.
