Case No.2:13-cv-1824-KOB

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on July 15, 2014 (doc. 25),
recommending that the court grant the Plaintiff’s “Motion for Default Judgment (doc. 19) and enter
judgment in favor of the Plaintiff in the amount of $2,502,404.49. No party filed any objections.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including
the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his
recommendation to grant the motion for default judgment and enter judgment in the Plaintiff’s favor
for the amount specified above. The court finds that nothing in the record refutes the Plaintiff’s claim
of entitlement to the sums due under the indemnity agreement, and that the Plaintiff’s claims for
attorneys fees, consultant fees, costs and expenses are reasonable.
The court will enter a separate Order in conformity with this opinion.
DONE and ORDERED this 28th day of August, 2014.
