CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 16-6648

WEBER PROPERTY GROUP, L.L.C.

SECTION “N” (2)

ORDER
The Court, having considered the motion, response, the applicable law, the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, and the failure of any party to file an
objection to the Magistrate Judge’s June 14, 2017 Report and Recommendation, hereby adopts the
Report and Recommendation (Rec. Doc. 34) as its opinion in this matter. Although the Court
considers the proposed award generous – particularly given the absence of any amicable demand
for amelioration of the architectural barrier to entry being made upon Defendant Weber Property
Group, L.L.C. – the Court finds no manifest error in the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation and, as stated, no objection to the Magistrate Judge's propose disposition was
filed. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that "Plaintiff's Motion for Award of Attorneys' Fees/Costs"

1

(Rec. Doc. 24) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART such that Defendant Weber
Property Group, L.L.C. shall pay $4,981.25 in attorney's fees and costs to Plaintiff Stephen Carrier.1

Although the Court has adopted the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation
for an award of attorney's fees and costs, Plaintiff Stephen Carrier and his counsel, Andrew D. Bizer,
are advised that, with any future such requests, the undersigned will take into consideration whether
reasonable efforts were made to notify the defendant of the alleged barrier, and to achieve an
amicable and expedient resolution of the problem, without the necessity of, and prior to, a lawsuit
being filed.
