_______________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION THIS CAUSE
is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation to the District Judge (DE [63]) issued on January 10, 2022. Therein, Magistrate Judge Valle considered Defendant’s Verified and Unopposed Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Incorporated Memorandum of Law (DE [55]) and recommends Defendant’s motion be granted in part and denied in part and Defendant be awarded the amount of $83,571.75 in attorney’s fees.
Parties have fourteen days to file any objections to a magistrate judge’s factual findings. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); S.D. Fla. Mag. R. 4(b). Here, neither side filed any such objections. With no objections filed, the Court’s review of the Report and Recommendation (DE [7]) is properly limited to a de novo review of only its legal conclusions. See Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London v. PharmaTech, LLC , 2019 WL 4673739, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 19, 2019) (“Legal conclusions are reviewed de novo , even in the absence of an objection.”). This Court has reviewed the entire file and record *2 Case 0:20-cv-60883-AHS Document 65 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/22/2022 Page 2 of 2
and has made a de novo review of the issues. No objections to the Report and Recommendation (DE [61]) have been filed, thus, the Court reviews it for clear error. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation to the District Judge (DE [61]) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED . Defendant’s Verified and Unopposed Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Incorporated Memorandum of Law (DE [55]) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART . Defendant RIOT BLOCKCHAIN, INC. is AWARDED attorney’s fees in the amount of $83,571.75 . Plaintiff KASHWISE GLOBAL FUNDING SOLUTIONS, INC. is ORDERED to pay Defendant RIOT BLOCKCHAIN, INC.’s attorney’s fees in the amount of $83,571.75. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case and DENY all pending motions as moot.
