Opinion
Case No. 13-cv-10038
02-18-2014
SHARON HAZZARD, Plaintiff, v. SCHLEE & STILLMAN, LLC, Defendant.
HONORABLE STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (document
no. 18) AND GRANTING MOTION FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES (document no. 13)
The parties resolved this Fair Debt Collection Practices Act case by agreeing to a statutory damages award of $1,000 plus costs and attorney's fees. On a motion for costs and attorney's fees, the presiding magistrate judge recommended that the Court award the plaintiff $2,257.00 in costs and attorney's fees. No party has filed timely objections to the magistrate's report and recommendation ("Report"). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Although a court must review timely objections to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, a court may adopt, reject, or amend the portions of a report and recommendation to which no party properly objects. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Having reviewed the Report, the Court will adopt it and grant the plaintiff's motion for costs and attorney's fees in the amount of $2,275.00.
ORDER
WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the Report (document no. 18) is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiff's motion for costs and attorney's fees (document no. 13) is GRANTED in the amount of $2,275.00.
SO ORDERED.
