Honorable R. Brooke Jackson
Civil Action No. 12-cv-01873-RBJ
MALIBU MEDIA, LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.
LINDSEY MANESS,
Defendant.

ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the December 4, 2012 Recommendation of Magistrate
Judge Michael E. Hegarty [docket #33]. As relevant here, the Recommendation addresses
defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees [#24]. The Recommendation is incorporated herein by
reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within
fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. However, no
objection was filed by either party. “In the absence of timely objection, the district court may
review a magistrate’s report under any standard it deems appropriate.” Summers v. Utah, 927
F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) (“It does not
appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate’s factual or legal
conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those
findings.”)).
The Court has reviewed the relevant pleadings concerning the Recommendation. Based

on this review, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s analyses and recommendations
are correct, and that “there is no clear error on the face of the record.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72
advisory committee’s note. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Recommendation as the findings
and conclusions of this Court.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge [#33] is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. Defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees [#24] is
DENIED.
DATED this 5th day of April, 2013.
