MARCIA MORALES HOWARD, District Judge.
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 30; Report), entered by the Honorable Joel B. Toomey, United States Magistrate Judge, on May 20, 2015. In the Report, Judge Toomey recommends that Defendant Poma Glass & Specialty Windows, Inc.'s ("Poma") Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint for Damages (Dkt. No. 8) be denied. See Report at 13. On June 8, 2015, Poma filed objections to the Report. See Poma's Objections to Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 33; Objections). Plaintiff responded on June 22, 2015, with Plaintiff's Opposition to Poma's Objections to the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 36). Thus, the matter is ripe for review.1
The 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). If no specific objections to findings of facts are filed, the district court is not required to conduct a de novo review of those findings. See Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). However, the district court must review legal conclusions de novo. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); United States v. Rice, No. 2:07-mc-8-FtM-29SPC, 2007 WL 1428615, at * 1 (M.D. Fla. May 14, 2007).
Upon independent review of the file and for the reasons stated in Judge Toomey's Report, the Court will overrule the Objections, and accept and adopt the legal and factual conclusions recommended by the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1. Poma's Motion for Oral Argument on Its Objections to Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 34) is DENIED.
2. Defendant Poma's Objections to Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 33) are OVERRULED.
3. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 30) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
4. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint for Damages (Dkt. No. 8) is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED.
