ORDER
ROY B. DALTON, JR., District Judge.
In this social security appeal, Plaintiff's counsel filed an unopposed request for authorization to charge a reasonable fee pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b). (Doc. 22 ("Motion").) Counsel seeks $4,002 in attorney's fees. (Id. at 8.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly recommends the Court grant the Motion, finding the fee reasonable. (Doc. 23 ("R&R").)
The parties filed a joint notice of no objection to the R&R. (Doc. 24.) As such, the Court has examined the R&R only for clear error. See Wiand v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:12-cv-557-T-27EAJ, 2016 WL 355490, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 28, 2016); see also Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App'x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding no such error, the Court will adopt the R&R in its entirety.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Kelly's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 23) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order.
2. Richard A. Culbertson's Request for Authorization to Charge a Reasonable Fee and Memorandum on Reasonable Fees Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) is GRANTED.
DONE AND ORDERED.
