ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
TOM BARBER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Julie S. Sneed, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on November 8, 2022. (Doc. 94). Judge Sneed recommends that “Plaintiff's Second Supplemental Motion on Amount of Attorneys' Fees and Expenses” (Doc. 92) be granted. Specifically, Judge Sneed recommends that Plaintiff be awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of $117,145.00 and costs in the amount of $1,082.50. No objection to the report and recommendation has been filed, and the time to object has expired.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982). A district court must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which an objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). When no objection is filed, a court reviews the report and recommendation for clear error. Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 Fed.Appx. 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006); Nettles v. Wainwright, 677 F.2d 404, 409 (5th Cir. 1982).
Upon due consideration of the record, including Judge Sneed's report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation. The Court agrees with Judge Sneed's detailed and well-reasoned factual findings and legal conclusions.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
(1) Judge Sneed's report and recommendation (Doc. 94) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE into this Order for all purposes, including appellate review.
(2) “Plaintiff's Second Supplemental Motion on Amount of Attorneys' Fees and Expenses” (Doc. 92) is GRANTED.
(3) Plaintiff is awarded reasonable attorneys' fees in the amount of $117,145.00 and costs in the amount of $1,082.50.
DONE and ORDERED.
