UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
JACKSONVILLE DIVISION
SHEA REBECCA BROWN,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 3:13-cv-915-J-34MCR
vs.
RUDOLPH DAVIS, individually, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Monte C. Richardson’s
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 109; Report), entered on October 23, 2017,
recommending that Defendants City of Lake City and Carlton Tunsil’s Renewed Motion to
Tax Costs (Doc. 105; Motion) be granted and the Renewed Bill of Costs (Doc. 106; Bill of
Costs) be taxed. See Report at 1-2, 7. To date, no objections to the Report have been
filed, and the time for doing so has passed.
The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). If no specific
objections to findings of fact are filed, the district court is not required to conduct a de novo
review of those findings. See Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993);
see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). However, the district court must review legal conclusions
de novo. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994);
United States v. Rice, No. 2:07-mc-8-FtM-29SPC, 2007 WL 1428615 at *1 (M.D. Fla. May
14, 2007).

Upon independent review of the file and for the reasons stated in the Magistrate
Judge’s Report, the Court will accept and adopt the legal and factual conclusions
recommended by the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
1. Magistrate Judge Monte C. Richardson’s Report and Recommendation (Doc.
109) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2. Defendants City of Lake City and Carlton Tunsil’s Renewed Motion to Tax Costs
(Doc. 105) is GRANTED.
3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to tax the Renewed Bill of Costs (Doc. 106)
and enter a judgment in favor of Defendants, Carlton Tunsil and the City of Lake
City, Florida, and against Plaintiff Shea Rebecca Brown, for costs in the amount
of $2,508.79, plus post-judgment interest for the period November 25, 2015
through May 18, 2017 in the amount of $41.49, and continuing interest until the
cost judgment is satisfied.
DONE AND ORDERED at Jacksonville, Florida, this 16th day of November, 2017.
