UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
SHANTA BETHEL o/b/o C.B., a minor,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action No. 18-247 (TJK)

v.
ANDREW SAUL,
Defendant.

ORDER
On February 28, 2021, Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui entered a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) concerning Plaintiff’s motion for attorney’s fees (ECF No. 26). To
date, no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed, and the time to file such
an objection has lapsed. Local Civil Rule 72.3(b). Thus, any objections are deemed waived.
See, e.g., Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-55 (1985).
The Court, upon independent consideration of the pending motion and the entire record
herein, concurs with the recommendations made in the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 33, is ADOPTED in its
entirety; it is further
ORDERED that for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, Plaintiffs’
Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Costs, ECF No. 26, is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN
PART; it is further

ORDERED that for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, the
Defendant shall pay to Plaintiff attorney’s fees for 65.93 hours at a rate of $205 per hour, for a
total of $13,515.65; and it is further
ORDERED that the Defendant shall make these payments to Plaintiffs by July 31, 2021,
unless the parties reach an alternative mutually agreeable date.
SO ORDERED.
