ORDER
This civil matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation entered by
United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton, on July 3, 2017 (the “R&R”) [Doc. 513].
In the R&R, Judge Guyton recommends that plaintiffs’ Motion for Default Judgement
Against the Ross Entities [Doc. 492] 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. As
such, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R [Doc. 513]. The Court hereby orders
the following:
1.

That plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment Against the Ross Entities1
[Doc. 492] is GRANTED;

1

The specific Ross entities are identified in the R&R [Doc. 513 pp. 2–3].

2.

That the Ross Entities are ADJUDGED responsible for fraud, civil
conspiracy, and unjust enrichment, and are also found in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 1962(d); and

3.

That judgment in the total amount of $1,516,431.79 be awarded to plaintiff,
plus costs and interest.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
