UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA MIAMI DIVISION CASE NO. 20-23230-CIV-CANNON/Otazo-Reyes ANGELA MILNER, et al.,

Plaintiffs, v.

TERI GALARDI,

Defendant. / ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Defendant’s Statement of Reasonable Costs and Fees (the “Statement”) [ECF No. 117], filed on September 15, 2021. The Statement was submitted pursuant to the Court’s Order Granting in Part Defendant’s Second Motion for Sanctions and Dismissing Certain Plaintiffs [ECF No. 113 p. 4]. Under the Court’s Scheduling Order [ECF No. 38], this matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Alicia M. Otazo-Reyes for a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). On October 19, 2021, Magistrate Judge Otazo-Reyes issued an R&R [ECF No. 128] recommending that the Court grant Defendant’s total requested amount of $1,435.00 as compensation for the costs incurred in filing its Second Motion for Sanctions [ECF No. 106]. The R&R also instructs the parties to file any objections within fourteen days of the R&R [ECF No. 128]. Plaintiff did not file any objections to the R&R or to the underlying Statement itself. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R [ECF No. 128], Defendant’s Statement [ECF No. 117], and the full record in this case. See Williams v. McNeil,

(11th Cir. 2009) (citing

(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to CASE NO. 20-23230-CIV-CANNON/Otazo-Reyes

be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that Defendant’s total requested amount of $1,435.00 should be GRANTED for the reasons set forth therein. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The R&R [ECF No. 128] is ADOPTED. 2. Defendant’s requested amount of $1,435.00 in the Statement of Reasonable Costs and Fees [ECF No. 117] is GRANTED. Plaintiffs shall pay the full amount within thirty (30) days of the entry of this Order. 3. Plaintiffs shall submit a Notice of Compliance with this Order in the Court record within five (5) days of payment to Defendant. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Fort Pierce, Florida this 4th day of November 2021.
