R01\INIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge:
Before the Court is the March 11, 2013 Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of
Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV recommending that the Court approve the proposed
settlement in this action. At the infant compromise hearing held on February 22,2013, Judge
Francis found that "the amount of the settlement is fair and reasonable," "[t]he attorney's fees
requested are consistent with the retainer agreement," and that "the amount of the settlement is
consistent with other verdicts and settlements in cases of a similar nature." The Court has
reviewed the R&R, to which no party has objected, attorney's and guardian's affirmations, and
the transcript of the February 22,2013 hearing. Finding no clear error, see Wynn v. Lempke,
No. 08 Civ. 3894 (RJS), 2009 WL 1227362, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 5, 2009), it is hereby:
ORDERED that the R&R is adopted in its entirety and the settlement is approved. The
infant compromise order submitted to the Court has been signed and filed separately. The Clerk

of Court is respectfully directed to close this case.

SO ORDERED.
