GLASSER, Senior United States District Judge:
The Plaintiffs’ motion requesting the entry of a default judgment was referred, in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), to Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom to Report and Recommend
(R&R). On October 29, 2019 that R&R was filed and, as of the date of this Order, no objection
to it has been submitted.
A de novo review was made by the Court of a 15-page Report presenting a chronological
statement of the operative facts, a comprehensive discussion of the relevant law applied to those
facts, and a Recommendation thoughtfully and fairly arrived at. The Court adopts that
compelling R&R in its entirety and directs that a default judgment be entered against the
Defendant as follows: $171,870.00 in withdrawal liability; $19,579.05 in interest, plus $84.76
per diem from May 18, 2018 until the date the judgment is entered; $34,374.00 in liquidated
damages; $4,725 in attorney’s fees; and $582.50 in costs.
SO ORDERED.
Dated:

Brooklyn, New York
December 4, 2019
