____________________________________
ORDER
In this Fair Labor Standards Act case, the Court previously approved the
parties’ settlement. Plaintiff now moves the Court to determine his entitlement to
fees and costs. (Doc. 29 (“Motion”).) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel C.
Irick entered a Report and Recommendation submitting that the Court should
grant the Motion. (Doc. 30 (“R&R”).) The time has passed and there were no
objections, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem,
Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be
adopted in its entirety.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.

The R&R (Doc. 30) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a
part of this Order in its entirety.

2.

Plaintiff’s Motion (Doc. 29) is GRANTED.
