ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Costs

finding that Defendant is entitled to attorney’s fees pursuant to Florida Statute § 627.428(1), and
giving Defendant fourteen days to quantify his fees. (Id. at 4).
After a de novo review of the record, and noting that no objections were timely filed, this
Court agrees entirely with the analysis set forth in the R&R. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and
ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 108) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED
and is made a part of this Order.
2. Defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Costs (Doc. 103) is GRANTED in
part. Defendant is entitled to his attorney fees pursuant to Florida Statute
§ 627.428(1). The Court reserves jurisdiction to determine the amount of attorney
fees.
