MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On July 6, 2011, Magistrate Judge Bloom issued a Report and Recommendation ("R R") recommending that the Court award plaintiff attorney's fees in the amount of $5,975 and costs in the amount of $550. See R R at 1. The R R stated that failure to object within fourteen days of the date of the R R would preclude further review. See id. No objections have been filed.
If clear notice has been given of the consequences of failure to object, and there are no objections, the Court may adopt the R R without de novo review. See Mario v. P C Food Mkts., Inc., 313 F.3d 758, 766 (2d Cir. 2002) ("Where parties receive clear notice of the consequences, failure timely to object to a magistrate's report and recommendation operates as a waiver of further judicial review of the magistrate's decision."). The Court will excuse the failure to object and conduct de novo review if it appears that the magistrate judge may have committed plain error, see Spence v. Superintendent, Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir. 2000); no such error appears here. Accordingly, the Court adopts the R R without de novo review and directs the Clerk to enter judgment in accordance with the R R.
