MARGO K. BRODIE, District Judge.
Plaintiff Cadle Company commenced the above-captioned action against Defendants Eldridge Livingston and Kathleen Wilson, seeking repayment of a promissory note. Although properly served with copies of the summonses, Complaint and Amended Complaint, (Docket Entry Nos. 5-6), Livingston failed to appear or otherwise defend against this action, and Wilson initially failed to appear. On September 17, 2013, the Clerk of Court noted Livingston's default, (Docket Entry No. 11), and on October 11, 2013 the Clerk of Court noted Wilson's default, (Docket Entry No. 13.) Plaintiff subsequently moved for a default judgment as to both Defendants, (Docket Entry No. 14), which motion was referred to Magistrate Judge Joan M. Azrack. Wilson subsequently appeared to defend against this action, (see Docket Entry No. 17, Minute Entry dated November 19, 2013), and signed a stipulation of settlement with Plaintiff for $197,000, (Docket Entry No. 18, Ex. 1). Plaintiff moved for judgment against Wilson based on settlement. (Docket Entry No. 18.) By Report and Recommendation (R&R) dated January 14, 2014, Judge Azrack recommended that (1) judgment be entered jointly and severally against Livingston and Wilson in the amount of $197,000, and (2) a default judgment be entered individually against Livingston for an additional $18,679.81, plus per diem interest of $3,109.57 from October 16, 2013, until the entry of judgment. (Docket Entry No. 21.) No objections were filed.
A district court reviewing a magistrate judge's recommended ruling "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)(C). "Failure to object to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation within the prescribed time limit `may operate as a waiver of any further judicial review of the decision, as long as the parties receive clear notice of the consequences of their failure to object.'" Sepe v. New York State Ins. Fund, 466 F. App'x 49, 50 (2d Cir. 2012) (quoting United States v. Male Juvenile, 121 F.3d 34, 38 (2d Cir. 1997)); see also Almonte v. Suffolk Cnty., 531 F. App'x 107, 109 (2d Cir. 2013) ("As a rule, a party's failure to object to any purported error or omission in a magistrate judge's report waives further judicial review of the point." (quoting Cephas v. Nash, 328 F.3d 98, 107 (2d Cir. 2003))); Wagner & Wagner, LLP v. Atkinson, Haskins, Nellis, Brittingham, Gladd & Carwile, P.C., 596 F.3d 84, 92 (2d Cir. 2010) ("[A] party waives appellate review of a decision in a magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation if the party fails to file timely objections designating the particular issue.").
Judge Azrack recommends entry of judgment against Wilson pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement in the amount of $197,000, and notes that "[b]ecause Wilson and Livingston both signed the [promissory n]ote, they should be jointly and severally liable for $197,000." (R&R 4.) Having reviewed Judge Azrack's recommendation and finding no clear error, the Court adopts Judge Azrack's recommendation, and finds Wilson jointly and severally liable with Livingston in the amount of $197,000.
Judge Azrack also found that Plaintiff is entitled to an additional judgment against Livingston in the amount of $18,679.81, for a total judgment of $215,679.81, plus prejudgment interest. (R&R 4.)
The Court has reviewed the unopposed R&R and adopts Judge Azrack's recommendation, as modified, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), for entry of judgment against Livingston in the following amounts: (1) $121,349.09 in principal, (2) $93,770.82 in interest through October 15, 2013, (3) $559.90 in costs and disbursement, (4) $7,039.25 in prejudgment interest for the period between October 15, 2013 and the date of this Memorandum and Order, and (5) additional interest at the rate of $34.05 per day from May 8, 2014 through the date of judgment. The Court adopts Judge Azrack's recommendation for entry of judgment against Wilson in the amount of $197,000. Livingston and Wilson are jointly and severally liable for the amount of $197,000. Livingston is solely liable for the additional amount of $25,719.06, plus prejudgment interest from May 9, 2014 through the date of judgment.
SO ORDERED.
