ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On July 25, 2006, plaintiff moved for default judgment. By order dated August 22, 2006, the motion was referred to Magistrate Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto. On March 12, 2007, Magistrate Judge Matsumoto issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court enter default judgment in the amount of $250,000, plus simple interest at the rate of nine percent per annum running from March 28, 2006 to the date of entry of judgment, costs in the amount of $539.50, and post-judgment interest from the date of entry of judgment at the rate prescribed by law. Defendant has not filed an objection.
When reviewing a magistrate's Report and Recommendation, this Court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. . . ." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). When, as here, no timely objection has been made to the Report and Recommendation, this Court "need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record." Urena v. New York, 160 F. Supp. 2d 606, 609-10 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (quoting Nelson v. Smith, 618 F. Supp. 1186, 1189 (S.D.N.Y. 1985)).
After careful review of all the evidence in the record, this Court finds Magistrate Judge Matsumoto's Report and Recommendation to be correct, comprehensive, well-reasoned, and free of any clear error. The Court, therefore, adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety as the opinion of the Court. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion for default judgment is granted.
