June 15, 2015, recommending that the Joint Motion to Approve
Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Dismissal With Prejudice
(Doc. #18) be granted, the Settlement Agreement be approved, and
the case dismissed.
On June 22, 2015, the parties filed a Joint
Notice of Non-Opposition to Report and Recommendation (Doc. #20).
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings
and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject or modify
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

636(b)(1); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982),
cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1112 (1983).
In the absence of specific
objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review
factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9
(11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject or modify, in
whole or in part, the findings and recommendations.
636(b)(1)(C).
28 U.S.C. §
The district judge reviews legal conclusions de
novo, even in the absence of an objection.

aff’d, 28 F.3d 116 (11th Cir. 1994) (Table).
After conducting an independent examination of the file and
upon due consideration of the Report and Recommendation, the Court
accepts the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge.
