MEMORANDUM ORDER
Plaintiffs sued Defendant Holiday Magic Corporation ("Defendant") for unpaid employee benefit contributions. Defendant did not appear to defend this action, and Plaintiffs moved for a default judgment. On June 28, 2011, Magistrate Judge E. Thomas Boyle issued a Report and Recommendation (the "R R") recommending that a default judgment be entered against Defendant and that Plaintiffs be awarded: (1) $6,003.20 in unpaid employee benefit contributions; (2) interest through April 18, 2011 in the amount of $578.87 plus $0.53 per day from and including April 19, 2011 through the date of judgment; (3) audit fees in the amount of $1,077.50; (4) liquidated damages in the amount of $1,200.64; (5) post-judgment interest pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961; (6) attorneys' fees in the amount of $3,809.00; and (7) costs in the amount of $569.74.
The time for objections to the R R has passed and, having reviewed Judge Boyle's R R, the Court finds it to be thorough, well-reasoned, and free from clear error. Accordingly, the R R is ADOPTED in its entirety. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment against Defendant in the amount of $13,238.95 plus $0.53 per day from and including April 19, 2011 through the date of judgment. Plaintiffs shall also be entitled to post-judgment interest calculated pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The Clerk is further directed to mail a copy of this Order to Defendant and to mark this case CLOSED.
SO ORDERED.
