ORDER
On October 10, 2017, this Court referred the Plaintiff’s Motions for Default Judgment to
Magistrate Judge Susan L. Collins for review, to conduct any and all necessary evidentiary
hearings, and to issue a Report and Recommendation that includes proposed findings of fact and
recommendations for the disposition of the Plaintiff’s Motions.
On February 2, 2018, Judge Collins issued a Report and Recommendation setting forth a
recommendation that the Court grant in part the Plaintiff’s Motions for Entry of Default [ECF
Nos. 34, 39]. The Report recommended that this Court enter judgment in favor of the Plaintiff
Carolina Arellano, and against Defendants Imperial Maintenance, Inc., and C&M Cleaning
Services, in the sum of $9,496.72 for claims that they withheld wages from the Plaintiff and
discriminated against the Plaintiff on the basis of race in her employment.
This Court’s review of the Magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is governed
by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), which provides in part:
A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the
report or specified proposed findings and recommendations to which objection is

made. A judge of the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
findings and recommendations made by the magistrate. The judge may also receive
further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate with instructions.
Objections to the Magistrate’s Judge’s Report and Recommendations must be made within
fourteen days of service of a copy of the Report. Id.; Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party has filed an
objection to the Report and Recommendation.
Upon review of the parties’ submissions and the Report and Recommendation, the Court
ACCEPTS the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 70] in its entirety and thereby:
(1) GRANTS the Plaintiff’s Motions for Entry of Default Judgment [ECF Nos. 34, 39];
and
(2) DIRECTS the Clerk to ENTER JUDGMENT in favor of Plaintiff Carolina Arellano
and against Defendants Imperial Maintenance, Inc., and C&M Cleaning Services, in the sum of
$9,496.72. The Defendants are jointly and severally liable for the sum of $9,496.72.
SO ORDERED on February 26, 2018.
