MEMORANDUM OPINION

SHARON LOVELACE BLACKBURN, Chief District Judge.

This case is presently before the court on the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 41.) The parties were allowed fourteen days to file Objections; to date, no Objections have been filed.

The district court reviews de novo those parts of the Report and Recommendation to which a party objects. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3)("The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to."). The court may review the other parts of the Report and Recommendation for plain error or manifest injustice. United States v. Slay, 714 F.2d 1093, 1095 (11th Cir. 1983)(citing Nettles v. Wainwright, 677 F.2d 404, 410 (11th Cir. 1982)). "The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions." Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).

This court has carefully considered the record in this case, including the Report and Recommendation. Based on its review, the court ADOPTS the Report of the Magistrate Judge and ACCEPTS his Recommendations. Contemporaneous with the entry of this Memorandum Opinion, the court will enter an Order (1) granting defendant Jeff Collins's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, (doc. 8); (2) granting Motion for Partial Dismissal, (doc. 10), filed by defendant Arby's Restaurant Group [ARG], as to Counts I, II, IV, VII, VIII, IX, and X, and denying its Motion for Partial Dismissal, (doc. 10), as to Count XI; (3) denying ARG's Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute and for Award of Attorney's Fees, (doc. 21); and (4) granting ARG's Motion for Default Judgment, (doc. 35).1

FootNotes


1. In the Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge indicated that the amount of the counterclaim is "$2609.49, which represented $2494.89 in charges and $1134.60 in delinquency charges and late fees." (Doc. 41 at 5.) ARG claims "$113.60 in delinquency charges and late fees." (Doc. 7 § 6 at 14-15.) The total amount claimed is properly set forth in the Report and Recommendation. (See doc. 41 at 5, 27.)
