DOMINGO OBANDO, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
RAAG SINGHAL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Valle's Report and Recommendation on Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees (DE [25]), which recommends that Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act (DE [24]) be granted. Neither party has filed any objections to Judge Valle's Report and Recommendation. Thus, this Court reviews the Report and Recommendation only for clear error. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 Fed.Appx. 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006) (quoting Diamond v. Colonial Life & Accident Ins., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005)).
The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's Petition and Judge Valle's well-reasoned Report and Recommendation and finds no clear error. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1. Magistrate Judge Valle's Report and Recommendation on Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees (DE [25]) is APPROVED and ADOPTED in its entirety.
2. Plaintiffs Unopposed Petition for Attorney's Fees (DE [25]) is GRANTED. Plaintiff is awarded a total of $5, 107.54 in attorney's fees plus $400 in costs to be paid to Plaintiffs counsel once the U.S. Department of the Treasury determines that Plaintiff owes no debt to the United States.
