JUDGMENT ORDER
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (“Plaintiff”) filed a motion for
default judgment against Nancy J. Reinhart (“Defendant”) (Court File No. 16), which the Court
referred to United States Magistrate Judge William B. Carter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)
and (C) to conduct an evidentiary hearing (Court File No. 17). In accordance with Rule 72(b) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Judge Carter filed a report and recommendation recommending
that Plaintiff be awarded judgment against Defendant in the amount of $27,123.41 in principal, a
late fee of $115.00, $7,475.00 in attorney’s fees, and prejudgment interest (Court File No. 18).
Neither party filed an objection within the given fourteen days.
After reviewing the record, the Court agrees with the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation. The Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and recommendations pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Rule 72(b).
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (Court File No.
6) and hereby ENTERS JUDGMENT in favor of Plaintiff against Defendant in the amount of
$34,713.41. In addition, Plaintiff shall be awarded interest at the rate of $1.67 per day on the
