NATIONWIDE VAN LINES, INC., Plaintiff v. TRANSWORLD MOVERS, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
MARCIA G. COOKE United States District Judge
THIS MATTER is before me upon the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of the Honorable Patrick M. Hunt, U.S. Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 136), regarding Defendants' Motion for Appellate Attorneys' Fees, ECF No. 132. The Undersigned referred this case to Judge Hunt for all non-dispositive pretrial motions, fees, and costs, as well as the specific motion at issue here. ECF Nos. 8 and 135; see also 28 U.S.C. § 636; S.D. Fla. L.R., Mag. R. 1.
In his R&R, Judge Hunt recommends that Defendants' Motion for Appellate Attorney's Fees be denied.
I have reviewed Defendants Motion for Appellate Attoney's Fees, the briefing related thereto, Judge Hunt's R&R, the Objections to Judge Hunt's R&R, the record, and the relevant legal authorities. Having done so, I find Judge Hunt's R&R to be clear, cogent, and compelling.
Accordingly, Judge Hunt's R&R (ECF No. 136) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as the Order of this Court. It is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Defendant's Motion for Appellate Attorneys' Fees (ECF No. 132) is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED in chambers, at Miami, Florida, this 14th day of February 2022.
