ERIC N. VITALIANO, District Judge.
On July 16, 2013, the Court granted default judgment against defendants and referred this matter to Magistrate Viktor V. Pohorelsky for inquest to determine appropriate relief. On August 1, 2014, Judge Pohorelsky, in his report, recommended that plaintiff be awarded $77,472.00, comprising $57,600.00 in damages, and $19,872.00 in pre-judgment interest, as well as post-judgment interest awarded from the day judgment is entered. Judge Pohorelsky further recommended that the Court declare that the vessel M/T ACE was abandoned by her owners, and issue an order permitting plaintiff to remove and sell that vessel from its premises.
In reviewing a report and recommendation ("R&R") of a magistrate judge, 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). A district judge is required to "make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made" by any party, Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), but where no timely objection has been made, the "district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record" to accept a magistrate judge's R&R. 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)).
Judge Pohorelsky's R&R gave proper notice that any objection had to have been filed within 14 days of receipt.
In line with the foregoing, plaintiff is awarded $77,472.00 and post-judgment interest in the amount of nine percent per annum against defendant Harbor Fuel Services, Inc. The Court declares that the vessel M/T ACE was abandoned by her owners, and plaintiff should submit an appropriate proposed order for entry by the Court which would authorize plaintiff to sell the vessel M/T ACE. Any sale should be reported in the record, and any proceeds from the sale are to be used to reduce the amount of the judgment.
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this Memorandum & Order and to mark the case closed for administrative purposes.
SO ORDERED.
