ODETTE BLANCO DE FERNANDEZ nee BLANCO ROSELL, Plaintiff, v. SEABOARD MARINE, LTD., Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
BETH BLOOM UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Plaintiff's Motion for Award of Costs, ECF No. [273], filed on September 19, 2022 (“Motion”). The Motion was previously referred to the Honorable Alicia M. Otazo-Reyes for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”). See ECF No. [277]. On February 2, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued a R&R recommending that the Motion be granted in part and denied in part. ECF No. [295]. The R&R states that the parties shall file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To date, neither party has filed objections.
Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R, the record in this case, and is otherwise fully advised. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that the Motion must be granted in part and denied in part for the reasons set forth therein.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The R&R, ECF No. [295], is ADOPTED;
2. The Motion, ECF No. [273], is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART;
3. Defendant is awarded $27,799.65 in taxable costs as the prevailing party in this action.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida.
