Defendant Aycock’s copy of the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation was

accruing daily in the amount of $7.49, per day through December 19, 2013. As of the date of this
Memorandum Opinion and Final Judgment, eighteen additional days have passed since
December 19, 2013, for an additional accrued interest in the amount of $134.82. This additional
interest is to be added to the $74,061.00, recommended by the magistrate judge, so that the full
final default judgment to be entered by separate judgment is the amount of seventy four thousand
one hundred ninety five dollars and 82/100 ($74,195.82). Accordingly, by separate order, the
court will enter Final Judgment in favor of plaintiff and against defendant Jeffrey R. Aycock in
the amount of seventy four thousand one hundred ninety five dollars and 82/100 ($74,195.82),
plus interest accruing hereafter and the costs of the action.
