Memorandum and Order
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation filed by United States
Magistrate Judge, C. Clifford Shirley [R. 53]. There have been no timely objections to the
Report and Recommendation, and enough time has passed since the filing of the Report and
Recommendation to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1);
Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).
After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the
Magistrate Judge’s recommendation that the plaintiff’s petition for attorney’s fees and costs [R.
44] be granted in part and denied in part, and that the Court award the plaintiff $75,368.64 in
attorney fees and costs.

Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report and

Recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the
reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, which the Court adopts and incorporates into
its ruling, that the plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees [R. 44] is GRANTED IN PART and
DENIED IN PART, and the plaintiff is awarded attorney fees and costs totaling $75,368.64.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
