ORDER

On March 25, 2021, Defendant filed a proposed Bill of Costs, seeking $13,846.95. (Doc. 206.) Plaintiff objected the Bill of Costs, arguing Defendant failed to describe the expenses with particularity or provide proof of payment for the costs. (Doc. 208.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman recommends sustaining in part and overruling in part Plaintiff’s objections and recommends awarding Defendant $6,467.18 in costs. (Doc. 233 (“R&R”).)

No party objected to the R&R, and the time for doing so has passed. Absent objection, the Court examined the R&R only for clear error. See Wiand v.

Finding none, the Court adopts the R&R in its entirety.
