This matter comes before the Court on United States Magistrate Judge Carol Mirando's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 78) on the Joint Motion to Approve Mediated Settlement Agreement and to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Claims with Prejudice (Doc. 75). Plaintiffs Laura Losacano, Danette Bederka, Victoria Dull, Susan Julian, Leigh Kundrick, Colleen Sanchez, and Wynona Parr (collectively "Plaintiffs") and Defendant Sabal Springs Homeowners' Association, Inc. filed a Joint Notice of Non-Objection (Doc. 79). This matter is now ripe for review.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982). Absent specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even absent an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
After independently examining the file and on consideration of Judge Mirando's findings and recommendation, the Court accepts the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 78) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED and the findings incorporated herein.
(2) The Joint Motion to Approve Mediated Settlement Agreement and to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Claims with Prejudice (Doc. 75) is GRANTED.
(3) Plaintiffs' claims are DISMISSED with prejudice.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 9th day of March, 2018.
