JAMES D. WHITTEMORE, District Judge.
BEFORE THE COURT is the Report and Recommendation from the Magistrate Judge recommending that Defendants' motion to modify the CMSO (Dkt. 111) be granted, and the parties' proposed amended CMSO, with the exception of Paragraph 6, be adopted. (Dkt. 123). The parties do not oppose. (Dkts. 125, 126).
A district court may accept, reject or modify a magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). Legal conclusions are reviewed de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See LeCroy v. McNeil, 397 F. App'x. 554, 556 (11th Cir. 2010) (citing United States v. Warren, 687 F.2d 347, 348 (11th Cir. 1982)); Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
