JEYSON SILVA and JOSCELYN HALL, Plaintiffs, v. THE CITY OF NEW YORK, KENNETH GREEN, and JOHN DOE 1-15, Defendants.


DECISION & ORDER WILLIAM F. KUNTZ, II, United States District Judge :

On September 22, 2016, Jeyson Silva and Joscelyn Hall (together, "Plaintiffs") filed a motion for attorney's fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 & 1988, ECF Nos. 31-33, which this Court referred to Magistrate Judge Steven L. Tiscione for a Report & Recommendation ("R&R"). The City of New York, Kenneth Greene, and John Does 1 to 15 (collectively, "Defendants") opposed the motion, contesting the amount of the fee award sought. See ECF Nos. 34-35. Magistrate Judge Tiscione held a hearing on the motion and subsequently issued his R&R on May 18, 2017. ECF No. 41. Neither party filed timely written objections to the R&R, and thus both parties have waived any objections thereto. See id. at 11-12.

After conducting a de novo review of the record, the Court hereby ADOPTS in whole the findings and recommendations made by Magistrate Judge Tiscione in his R&R based on the reasoning provided therein. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion for an award of attorney's fees and costs is GRANTED and Plaintiffs are awarded total attorney's fees and costs of $12,704.50 based on the calculations provided in the R&R.

SO ORDERED.
