KASHWISE GLOBAL FUNDING SOLUTIONS, INC., Plaintiff, v. RIOT BLOCKCHAIN, INC., Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
RAAG SINGHAL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation to the District Judge (DE [61]) issued on December 22, 2021. Therein, Magistrate Judge Valle considered Defendant's Application to Tax Costs and Supporting Memorandum of Law (DE [53]) and recommends Defendant be awarded costs in the amount of $3,961.00 against Plaintiff.
Parties have fourteen days to file any objections to a magistrate judge's factual findings. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); S.D. Fla. Mag. R. 4(b). Here, neither side filed any such objections. With no objections filed, the Court's review of the Report and Recommendation (DE [7]) is properly limited to a de novo review of only its legal conclusions. See Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's of London v. PharmaTech, LLC, 2019 WL 4673739, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 19, 2019) (“Legal conclusions are reviewed de novo, even in the absence of an objection.”). This Court has reviewed the entire file and record and has made a de novo review of the issues. No. objections to the Report and Recommendation (DE [61 ]) have been filed, thus, the Court reviews it for clear error. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation to the District Judge (DE [61]) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. Defendant's Application to Tax Costs and Supporting Memorandum of Law (DE [53]) is GRANTED. Defendant RIOT BLOCKCHAIN, INC. is AWARDED total costs in the amount of $3,961.00, comprising $400 in filing fees and $3,561 in transcript fees. Plaintiff KASHWISE GLOBAL FUNDING SOLUTIONS, INC. is ORDERED to pay Defendant RIOT BLOCKCHAIN, INC.'s total costs in the amount of $3,961.00.
DONE AND ORDERED.
