VIRGINIA M. HERNANDEZ CONVINGTON, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on consideration of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Anthony E. Porcelli (Doc. # 22), filed on April 9, 2014, recommending that the Commissioner's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Doc. # 21) be granted.

Discussion
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1112 (1983).
In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Hous. v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Castro Bobadilla v. Reno, 826 F.Supp. 1428, 1431-32 (S.D. Fla. 1993), aff'd, 28 F.3d 116 (11th Cir. 1994).
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations, and giving de novo review to matters of law, the Court accepts the factual findings and legal conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, and adopts the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
(1) The Report and Recommendation of Anthony E. Porcelli, United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 22) is ADOPTED.
(2) The Commissioner's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Doc. # 21) is GRANTED.

(4) The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly, terminate any pending motions, and CLOSE THIS CASE.
