This cause is before the Court on Plaintiff's Uncontested Motion for Attorney's Fees
(Doc. 19) filed on August 11, 2017. The United States Magistrate Judge has submitted a

After an independent de novo review of the record in this matter, and noting that a

parties express no objection to the Report and Recommendation was filed, the Court
agrees entirely with the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Report and
Recommendation.
Therefore, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

The Report and Recommendation filed August 21, 2017 (Doc. 20), is

ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.
2.

The Uncontested Motion for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 19) is GRANTED to the
