Opinion

CASE NO. 1:06CV2889.

May 16, 2008


ORDER


This matter comes before the Court upon the Motion of Plaintiffs, Bonnie Kramer and Disabled Patriots of America, Inc., for Attorney Fees and Costs. (ECF DKT # 26). This motion was referred to the Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendation. On April 28, 2008, the Magistrate Judge recommended that Plaintiffs be awarded an aggregate sum of $28,431.50 for attorneys' fees, expert's fees, and the costs and expenses of litigation.

Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b) provides that Objections to a Report and Recommendation must be filed within ten days after service; but neither party has filed any such Objections. Therefore, the Court must assume the parties are satisfied with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Any further review by this Court would be a duplicative and inefficient use of the Court's limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). "It does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate judge's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings." Id. at 150.

Therefore, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED in full; and Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorney Fees and Costs is GRANTED in the amount of $28,431.50.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
