ORDER
JANE TRICHE MILAZZO, District Judge.
Before the Court are a Motion to Fix Attorney's Fees (Doc. 362) filed by Camelia Grill Holdings, Inc. ("CGH"), a Report and Recommendations on the Motion prepared by the Magistrate Judge, and objections and responses to the Report and Recommendations filed by the parties. The Court reviews the Report and Recommendations de novo.
CGH objects to the Magistrate Judge's use of the lodestar method to calculate fees and the reduction in time imposed because CGH was unable to prove any damages as a result of the breach of the License Agreement. As to the former, CGH cites to no authority supporting the proposition that the lodestar method is contrary to Louisiana law. As to the latter, CGH sought to present evidence of damages to which it was not entitled under the law. The Magistrate Judge was correct in observing that CGH achieved only partial success on its motion. This Court therefore adopts the Report and Recommendations in its entirety. Accordingly;
IT IS ORDERED that CGH's Motion is GRANTED IN PART.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Chartres Grill, LLC and Grill Holdings, LLC be ordered to pay to CGH $22,362.56 in reasonable attorney's fees.
