ANN M. DONNELLY, District Judge.
On May 19, 2014, the plaintiffs Oscar Remache and Washington Condor filed this action
On September 7, 2018, Judge Levy issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that I grant the plaintiffs motion for default judgment against the Mac Hudson defendants and award damages to the plaintiffs who testified at the inquest hearing, but deny damages to the non-testifying plaintiffs without prejudice and with leave to renew their application for damages. (ECF No. 87.) Judge Levy also recommended that I award the testifying plaintiffs a total of $748,078.28, consisting of (i) $78,394.54 to plaintiff Condor; (ii) $92,595.23 to plaintiff Remache; (iii) $104,151.80 to plaintiff Cepeda; (iv) $27,893.90 to plaintiff Saravia; (v) $44,000.00 to plaintiff Ransom; (vi) $34,513.43 to plaintiff Towles; (vii) $22,359.54 to plaintiff Alvarez; (viii) $55,264.00 to plaintiff Luis Aguilar; (ix) $154,629.46 to plaintiff Manuel Aguilar; (x) $127,110 in attorneys' fees; and (xi) $7,166.38 in costs. (Id at 47.) Judge Levy also recommended that the testifying plaintiffs be awarded pre- and post-judgment interest. (Id at 47.) The plaintiff served the R&R on the Mac Hudson defendants on September 12, 2018 (ECF No. 88), and Judge Levy ordered the parties to file objections to the R&R by September 21, 2018 (ECF No. 87 at 47). The parties have not filed any objections.
In reviewing a Report and Recommendation, a district court "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)(C). Where no party has objected to the magistrate judge's recommendation, "a district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record." Urena v. New York, 160 F.Supp.2d 606, 609-10 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (quoting Nelson v. Smith, 618 F.Supp. 1186, 1189 (S.D.N.Y. 1985)).
I have reviewed Judge Levy's thoughtful and cogent Report and Recommendation, and find no error. Accordingly, I adopt the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. The plaintiffs' motion for default judgment against the Mac Hudson defendants (ECF No. 81) is granted. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of plaintiffs Washington Condor, Oscar Remache, Walter Cepeda, Fabian Saravia, Kareem Ransom, Ramel Towles, Freddy Alvarez, Luis Aguilar, and Manuel Aguilar in the amount of $748,078.28. The Clerk of the Court is also directed to award prejudgment interest at the rate of 9% per annum based on the compensatory damages, midpoints, and per diem rates set forth in Judge Levy's R&R (ECF No. 87 at 39) as well as post-judgment interest at the statutory rate commencing after judgment (id. at 39-40).
