MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On October 22, 2013, the Honorable H. Bruce Guyton, United States Magistrate Judge, entered a Memorandum and Order recommending that Plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees and costs [Doc. 32] be granted in part and denied in part and that Plaintiffs be awarded $60,710.40 in attorneys' fees and $411.20 in costs [Doc. 46]. No objections have been filed by the parties. In fact, the parties have filed a Notice of Satisfaction of Judgment in which they "stipulate that all monies owed under said judgment, including any and all attorneys' fees, expenses or costs Plaintiffs are entitled to thereunder, have been forever satisfied." [Doc. 47].
After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation that Plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees and costs be granted in part, denied in part, and that Plaintiffs be awarded $60,710.40 in attorneys' fees and $411.20 in costs. The Court therefore ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
IT IS ORDERED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that Plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees and costs [Doc. 32] is GRANTED to the extent that Plaintiffs are awarded $60,710.40 in attorneys' fees and $411.20 in costs in this matter.
