UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No. 17-cv-81152-BLOOM/Reinhart
DONALD BURNS,
Plaintiff,
v.
TOWN OF PALM BEACH,
Defendant(s).
_________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Defendant’s Verified Amended Motion for
Attorneys’ Fees, ECF No. [127], filed on October 12, 2021 (“Motion”). The Motion was
previously referred to the Honorable Bruce E. Reinhart for a Report and Recommendations
(“R&R”). See ECF No. [128]. On January 31, 2022, Magistrate Judge Reinhart issued an R&R
recommending that the Motion be denied. ECF No. [132]. The R&R states that the parties shall
file any objections within fourteen (14) days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To
date, the parties have filed no objections, nor have they sought additional time in which to do so.
Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R and the record in this
case and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291
(11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well
reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that
the Motion must be DENIED for the reasons set forth therein.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1.

The R&R, ECF No. [132], is ADOPTED.

2.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, on February 15, 2022.
