WILLIAM F. KUNTZ,II, United States District Judge:

On September 22, 2016, Jeyson Silva and Joscelyn Hall (together,"Plaintiffs") filed a
motion for attorney's fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 & 1988,ECF Nos. 31-33, which this
Court referred to Magistrate Judge Steven L. Tiscione for a Report & Recommendation

("R&R"). The City of New York, Kenneth Greene, and John Does 1 to 15 (collectively,
"Defendants")opposed the motion, contesting the amount ofthe fee award sought. See ECF

Nos. 34-35. Magistrate Judge Tiscione held a hearing on the motion and subsequently issued his
R&R on May 18, 2017. ECF No.41. Neither party filed timely written objections to the R&R,
and thus both parties have waived any objections thereto. See id at 11-12.

After conducting a de novo review of the record, the Court hereby ADOPTS in whole the

findings and recommendations made by Magistrate Judge Tiscione in his R&R based on the
reasoning provided therein. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion for an award of
attorney's fees and costs is GRANTED and Plaintiffs are awarded total attorney s fees and costs
of $12,704.50 based on the calculations provided in the R&R.
SO ORDERED.
