ORDER ADOPTING
REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
11 CV 4092 (VB)
Briccetti, J.:
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison’s Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”), dated December 20, 2016 (Doc. #310), in response to the Court’s Order of Reference
for an inquest on damages. (Doc. #267).
Judge Davison recommended entry of a Judgment against defendant RAHFCO
Management Group, LLC – in favor of plaintiff David Fiederlein (individually) only – in the
total amount of $150,000.00.
Judge Davison further recommended that the applications of plaintiffs Steven Krasner,
Alison Krasner, Michele Tellone, Tamie Tellone, Barbara Fiederlein, and Fiederlein Family
LTD Partnership (David Fiederlein, Trustee) for an award of damages be denied.
Familiarity with the factual and procedural background of this case is presumed.
For the following reasons, the Court adopts the R&R as the opinion of the Court.
A district court reviewing a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation “may accept,
reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate
judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Parties may raise objections to the magistrate judge’s report and
1
recommendation, but they must be “specific[,] written,” and submitted within 14 days after being
served with a copy of the recommended disposition. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1).
Insofar as a report and recommendation deals with a dispositive motion, a district court
must conduct a de novo review of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or
recommendations to which timely objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district
court may adopt those portions of a report and recommendation to which no timely objections
have been made, provided no clear error is apparent from the face of the record. Lewis v. Zon,
573 F. Supp. 2d 804, 811 (S.D.N.Y. 2008); Nelson v. Smith, 618 F. Supp. 1186, 1189 (S.D.N.Y.
1985). The clearly erroneous standard also applies when a party makes only conclusory or
general objections, or simply reiterates his original arguments. Ortiz v. Barkley, 558 F. Supp. 2d
444, 451 (S.D.N.Y. 2008).
No party has objected to Judge Davison’s thorough and well-reasoned R&R.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and finds no error, clear or otherwise.

CONCLUSION
Accordingly, the R&R is adopted in its entirety as the opinion of the Court.
The Clerk is instructed to enter a Judgment:
(1) awarding damages in favor of plaintiff David Fiederlein (individually) and against
defendant RAHFCO Management Group, LLC, in the total amount of $150,000.00; and
(2) denying the applications of plaintiffs Steven Krasner, Alison Krasner, Michele
Tellone, Tamie Tellone, Barbara Fiederlein, and Fiederlein Family LTD Partnership
(David Fiederlein, Trustee) for an award of damages.
