JOANNA SEYBERT, District Judge.
Pending before the Court is Magistrate Judge Gary R. Brown's Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court grant plaintiff Inez Nicaisse's ("Plaintiff") motion for attorneys' fees and costs (Docket Entry 30) and award Plaintiff attorneys' fees and costs totaling $13,168.65. For the following reasons, the Court ADOPTS Judge Brown's R&R in its entirety.
On March 10, 2014, Plaintiff commenced this action against defendant Stephens and Michaels Associates, Inc. ("Defendant"), asserting a claim under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692,
On January 15, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for attorneys' fees. (Docket Entry 30.) On April 12, 2016, the Court referred Plaintiff's motion to Judge Brown for an R&R on whether the motion should be granted and the appropriate amount of costs and fees to be awarded. (Docket Entry 31.) On June 9, 2016, Judge Brown issued his R&R. (Docket Entry 32.) The R&R recommends that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion and award Plaintiff $12,447.00 in attorneys' fees and $721.65 in costs, for a total award of $13,168.65. (R&R at 21.)
In reviewing an R&R, a district court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). If no timely objections have been made, the "court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record."
Objections were due within fourteen days of service of the R&R. The time for filing objections has expired, and no party has objected. Accordingly, all objections are hereby deemed to have been waived. Upon careful review and consideration, the Court finds Judge Brown's R&R to be comprehensive, well-reasoned, and free of clear error, and it ADOPTS the R&R in its entirety.
Judge Brown's R&R (Docket Entry 32) is ADOPTED in its entirety and Plaintiff is awarded $12,447.00 in attorneys' fees and $721.65 in costs. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and mark this case CLOSED.
SO ORDERED.
