679 F.2d 1350, 1355

(11th Cir. 1982). (Doc. 80 (“Motion”); Doc. 80-1 (“Agreement”).) On referral, United States Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman recommends granting the Motion and approving the Agreement, finding it fair and reasonable. (Doc. 81 (“R&R”).) The parties did not object to the R&R and the time for doing so has now passed.

208 F. App’x 781, 784

(11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. US. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 81) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order. 2. The parties’ Second Renewed Joint Motion for Judicial Approval of Settlement (Doc. 80) is GRANTED. 3. The parties’ Settlement Agreement and Release (Doc. 80-1) is APPROVED. 4.
