18 CIVIL 5953 (AJN)(VF)

Ascencion Cazares, et al., Plaintiffs, v. 2898 Bagel & Bakery Corp., et al., Defendants.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Order dated May 4, 2022, as of the date of the Order, no objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error. The Court finds no clear error except for two computational errors. First, in the pre-judgment interest on unpaid minimum wage damages table for Plaintiff Cazares, on page 37 of the R&R, the total should be $1, 219.54 as opposed to $1, 376.23. This total is consistent with Judge Freeman's calculations within the table. Accordingly, the total of pre-judgment interest on page 38 should be $21, 984.79 instead of $22, 141.48. Second, in the lodestar table on page 60, the total for Naydenskiy should be $280.00 as opposed to $490.00, and the total for Paralegal(s) should be $370.00 as opposed to $455.00. These totals are consistent with Judge Freeman's recommended hourly rates and hours billed. Accordingly, the total lodestar on page 60 should be $1, 865.00 instead of $2, 160.00. The Court otherwise adopts the R&R in all respects. The Court has awarded Plaintiffs damages, fees, costs, and interest in the following amounts: Cazares: $161, 859.05, plus interest in the amount of $18, 621.83; Delacruz: $58, 671.96, plus interest in the amount of $5, 973.83; Romano: $224, 330.68, plus interest in the amount of $26, 350.05; Angel: $14, 739.47, plus interest in the amount of $643.08; Robles: $10, 805.48, plus interest in the amount of $111.84; Attorneys' fees and costs: $2, 265.00; accordingly, the case is closed.
