ORDER
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees [Doc. 65].
This matter has been fully briefed [Docs. 65, 66, 71], and the undersigned previously
referred the matter to United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton [Doc. 70]. Judge
Guyton issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) [Doc. 73], recommending that
Plaintiff’s motion 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(b).
After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the
Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees should be
granted. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R under 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R&R,
which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that Plaintiff’s Motion for

attorney’s fees.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
