ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is the May 18, 2011 Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Docket Entry ("D.E.") No. 159) on Plaintiff, Douglas Baker's, motion to recover attorney's fees and expenses incurred while defending his successful ADA and TDA retaliation verdict on appeal (D.E. No. 152.). The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion and award attorney's fees and expenses. However, he reduced the amount requested to $31,931.25 in attorney's fees (98.25 hours at an hourly rate of $325) and $712.97 for reasonable and necessary expenses.
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation, and the entire record of the proceeding before the Magistrate Judge. No objections having been filed, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation filed May 18, 2011 is hereby ADOPTED, and the Plaintiff is awarded $31,931.25 in attorney's fees, as well as $712.97 as reimbursement for his reasonable and necessary expenses, for a total award of $32,644.22.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
