ORDER
DONALD L. GRAHAM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 29) on Plaintiff's Unopposed Petition for Attorney Fees (ECF No. 27).
On January 31, 2022, the Honorable United States Magistrate Judge Melissa Damian issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion and award Plaintiff fees in the amount of $3,595.70 payable to Plaintiff's attorney, subject to an offset for any applicable debt owed to the United States.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and the Local Magistrate Rules of the Southern District of Florida, the Parties had 14 days after being served with a copy of the Report and Recommendation to serve and file written objections, if any, with the District Court.

After a careful review of the record, this Court affirms the Report and Recommendation, finding it demonstrates an exhaustive review of the record and makes findings consistent with the law.
Accordingly, it is hereby
