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 July 6, 2015
[Doc. 1581]. In the R&R, Magistrate Judge Guyton recommends that the receiver’s
Ninth Quarterly Report and Thirty-Sixth Interim Application to Pay Receiver’s Fees and
Approve Receiver’s Attorneys’ Fees and Costs [Doc. 1555] 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. 1581], and
hereby GRANTS the motion [Doc. 1555]. The receiver is permitted to disburse the

$9,827.00 requested as compensation for services and reimbursement for expenses for
May 2015 and the $278,467.50 in professional fees and $9,084.54 in expenses incurred
by Woolf, McClane, Bright, Allen & Carpenter, PLLC.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

s/ Thomas A. Varlan
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
