VENITRA DUKES, Plaintiff, v. LVNV FUNDING, LLC, Defendant
ORDER
GREGORY A. PRESNELL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court to consider the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Bremer (Doc. No. 48) recommending that Defendant's Motion for Attorney Fees (Doc. No. 36) be granted in part. No objections have been filed. Upon consideration, it is
ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation is confirmed and adopted as part of this order. Defendant's Motion for Attorney Fees (Doc. No. 36) is GRANTED in part. As recommended by Magistrate Judge Bremer, I find that the conduct of Credit Repair Lawyers of America (“CRLA”) was vexatious and unreasonable after July 11, 2022. Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to an award of attorney fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 for legal services rendered after that date.
Defendant shall file its application for attorney fees with supporting documentation by April 5, 2023. CRLA may respond by April 20, 2023.
DONE and ORDERED.
