KHAMIR GRANT, a Minor by his Mother and Natural Guardian, W A VENY WILLIAMS GRANT, and WAVENY WILLIAMS GRANT, individually, Plaintiffs, -againstTHE CITY OF NEW YORK, POLICE OFFICER CAMERON EVELYN, Shield No. 3980, and JOHN and JANE DOE 1 through 4, individually and in their official capacities (the names John and Jane Doe being fictitious, as the true names are presently unknown), Defendants. NICHOLAS G. GARAUFIS, United States District Judge. By Report and Recommendation dated May 11,2010 ("R&R"), United States Magistrate Judge Joan Azrack recommended that this court grant Plaintiffs' Motion for Approval of Infant Compromise (Docket Entry # 18). Because no objections have been filed, the court reviews the R&R for clear error only. See Mario v. P & C Food Mkts .. Inc., 313 F.3d 758, 766 (2d Cir. 2002); Spence v. Superintendent. Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir. 2000). Based on its review of the record, the court agrees with Judge Azrack's conclusion that the proposed settlement, including its provision for counsel's fee, is fair, reasonable, and protects the best interests of the infant. Accordingly, this court adopts Judge Azrack's R&R and GRANTS the motion. SO ORDERED.
