ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, United States District Judge.
By Motion filed June 19, 2012, plaintiff Opulen Ventures, Inc. moved for default judgment
against defendant Axcessa, LLC, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b) and Local Rule
Civil Rule 55.2. (Doc. No. 6.) By Order entered June 22, 2012, this Court referred that motion to
the assigned Magistrate Judge, the Honorable Ramon E. Reyes, for a Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”). On January 22, 2013, Judge Reyes issued an R&R recommending that plaintiff’s motion
for default judgment be granted. (Doc. No. 9.) Judge Reyes reminded the parties that, pursuant to
Rule 72(b), any objections to the R&R were due within fourteen days from service of that report.
(R&R at 11.) On January 24 and 25, 2013, plaintiff filed three affidavits of service indicating that
Opulen served the R&R on Axcessa in person, by mail, and by fax. (Doc. Nos. 10-12.) No party
has filed any objections to the R&R. On February 2, 2013, plaintiff filed a notice of defendant’s
failure to object and accordingly requested an entry of judgment. (Doc. No. 13.)
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has
reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, concurs with the R&R in its entirety. See
Covey v. Simonton, 481 F. Supp. 2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007). Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for
default judgment is GRANTED.
It is hereby ORDERED that default judgment enter in favor of plaintiff as against Axcessa,
LLC, as follows: (1) $500,000.00 for contract damages; (2) $48,220.48 for prejudgment interest,
plus a per diem rate of $136.99 until the entry of final judgment; (3) $11,494.85 for attorneys’ fees
and costs, and (4) post-judgment interest pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The Clerk of Court is
directed to enter judgment accordingly and close the case.
SO ORDERED.
