Susan Khoury, Plaintiff v. Miami-Dade County School Board and Gregory Williams, Defendants.
Order Adopting Magistrate Judge's Report And Recommendation
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Alicia M. Otazo-Reyes for a report and recommendation on the Defendants' motion to tax costs and motion for attorneys' fees. (Order, ECF No. 200.) On November 28, 2018, Judge Otazo-Reyes issued a report, recommending that the Court grant in part the Defendants' motion for costs, award the Defendants costs in the amount of $11,000.90, and deny the Defendants' motion for attorneys' fees. (Report, ECF No. 221.) No objections have been filed and the time to object has passed.
Having considered Judge Otazo-Reyes's report, the record, and the relevant legal authorities, the Court finds Judge Otazo-Reyes's report and recommendation cogent and compelling. The Court therefore affirms and adopts Judge Otazo-Reyes's report and recommendation (ECF No. 221). Accordingly, the Court grants in part the Defendants' motion to tax costs (ECF No. 191) and denies the Defendants' motion for attorneys' fees (ECF No. 194). The Court awards $11,000.90 in costs to the Defendants to be paid by Plaintiff Susan Khoury.
Done and ordered at Miami, Florida on January 31, 2019.
