KINECT SOLAR, LLC, Plaintiff, v. GLOBUS ENTERPRISES, LLC. and QUIN ROHRER, Defendants.
ORDER
ROBERT PITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is the report and recommendation from United States Magistrate Judge Dustin Howell concerning Plaintiff Kinect Solar, LLC's (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Default Judgment, (Dkt. 22). (R. & R., Dkt. 23). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Rule 1(d) of Appendix C of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Judge Howell issued his report and recommendation on February 28, 2024. (Id.). Defendants Globus Med Supply, LLC dba Globus Enterprises and Quin Rohrer (collectively, “Defendants”) received a copy of the report and recommendation via email on March 6, 2024 and via priority mail on March 9, 2024. (Dkt. 24). As of the date of this order, no party has filed objections to the report and recommendation.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), a party may serve and file specific, written objections to a magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendations within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the report and recommendation and, in doing so, secure de novo review by the district court. When no objections are timely filed, a district court can review the magistrate's report and recommendation for clear error. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72 advisory committee's note (“When no timely objection is filed, the [district] court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.”).
Because no party has filed timely objections, the Court reviews the report and recommendation for clear error. Having done so and finding no clear error, the Court accepts and adopts the report and recommendation as its own order.
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, (Dkt. 23), is ADOPTED. Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment, (Dkt. 22), is GRANTED. Plaintiff is entitled to compensatory damages in the amount of $252,913.50, attorneys' fees in the amount of $31,687.24, costs, and pre- and post-judgment interest at the rates applicable at the time final judgment is rendered. The Court will enter final judgment in a separate order.
