MARCIA MORALES HOWARD, District Judge.
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 19; Report), entered on July 28, 2015, recommending that Plaintiff's Motion for Reasonable Attorneys' Fees and Costs (Dkt. No. 18; Motion) be granted, and that Plaintiff be awarded $3,820.00 in attorney's fees and costs. See Report at 5.

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 or the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge's Report, the Court will accept and adopt the legal and factual conclusions recommended by the Magistrate Judge.1 Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1. Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens' Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 19) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2. Plaintiff's Motion for Reasonable Attorneys' Fees and Costs (Dkt. No. 18) is GRANTED.
3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendants for attorney's fees and costs in the amount of $3,820.00.
DONE AND ORDERED.
