Order Adopting Magistrate’s Report And Recommendation
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Alicia M.
Otazo-Reyes for a report and recommendation on the Defendant’s motion for
costs (ECF No. 113). On March 6, 2018, Judge Otazo-Reyes issued a report,
recommending that the Court grant the motion and award the Defendant costs
in the amount of $400.00. (Report & Recommendations, ECF No. 131.) The
Plaintiff filed objections (ECF No. 132), to which the Defendant responded (ECF
No. 134). Having considered Judge Otazo-Reyes’s report, the record, and the
relevant legal authorities, this Court finds Judge Otazo-Reyes’s report and
recommendation cogent and compelling, and the Plaintiff’s objections to be
without merit.
The Court affirms and adopts Judge Otazo-Reyes’s report and
recommendation (ECF No. 131). The Court grants the City of Hialeah’s motion
for costs (ECF No. 113). Consistent with the report, the Court awards $400.00
in costs to the City of Hialeah to be paid by the Plaintiff, Frank Gonzalez.
Done and ordered at Miami, Florida, on April 12, 2018.
