ORDER
This civil matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (the
“R&R”) entered by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton on February 27,
2015 [Doc. 1494]. In the R&R, Magistrate Judge Guyton recommends that the receiver’s
Motion to Approve Attorneys’ Fees and Costs [Doc. 1458] be granted. There have been
no timely objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R
to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P.
72.
After a careful review of the matter, the Court is in agreement with Magistrate
Judge Guyton’s recommendations, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its
ruling. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R [Doc. 1494], and
hereby GRANTS the motion [Doc. 1458]. The $135,417.50 in professional fees and

$569.00 in expenses incurred by Woolf, McClane, Bright, Allen & Carpenter, PLLC
between December 1, 2013, and February 28, 2014, are approved.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
