UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION

IN RE: PERSEVERANCE MARINE, LLC

PERSEVERANCE MARINE, LLC,

Petitioner, Case No.: 2:19-cv-534-FtM-38NPM / ORDER1 Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). (Doc. 33). Judge Mizell recommends granting Petitioner’s motion for default judgment. Neither Petitioner nor any claimant timely objected, so the matter is ripe. A district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b)(1); see also Williams v. Wainwright,

(11th Cir. 1982). Without a specific objection, the judge need not review factual findings de novo.

(b)(1); see also Garvey v. Vaughn,

, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). But the district court reviews legal conclusions de novo, even without an objection. Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry.,

(11th Cir. 1994). After a careful, complete, and independent examination of the file, the Court accepts and adopts Judge Mizell’s well-reasoned R&R in full.
