THIS MATTER is before me upon the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of
the Honorable Jonathan Goodman, U.S. Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 31), regarding
Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney’s Fees (ECF No. 27).
In his R&R, Judge Goodman recommends that I grant Plaintiff ’s petition and award
Plaintiff $7,648.59 in attorney’s fees. ECF No. 31 at 1. The parties have not filed Objections
to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed.
I have reviewed Plaintiff ’s Motion, the briefing and accompanying exhibits,
Defendant’s Opposition, Judge Goodman’s R&R, the record, and the relevant legal
authorities. Having done so, I find Judge Goodman’s R&R to be clear, cogent, and
compelling.
Accordingly, Judge Goodman’s R&R (ECF No. 31) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED
as the Order of this Court. Plaintiff ’s Motion is GRANTED, and Plaintiff is awarded
$7,648.59 in attorney’s fees as set forth in the R&R.
DONE and ORDERED in chambers, at Miami, Florida, this 3rd day of December
