ALL POTENTIAL CLAIMANTS,

/ OPINION1 Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell’s Report and Recommendation (R&R). (Doc. 38). Petitioner Mid-Island Water Sports, Inc. moved the Court to enter a default against all persons and entities who have failed to file claims or answers and bar the filing of any further claims or answers in this or any proceeding related to or arising out of the events described in the petition.

The time to object to the R&R has expired

and no party objects. (Doc. 39). So the R&R is ripe for review. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part,” a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

(b)(1)(C). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review the report and recommendation de novo. See Garvey v. Vaughn,

, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). Instead, when parties do not object, a district court need only correct plain error as demanded by the

interests of justice. See, e.g., Symonette v. V.A. Leasing Corp.,

(11th Cir. 2016); Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Plain error exists if (1) “an error occurred”; (2) “the error was plain”; (3) “it affected substantial rights”; and (4) “not correcting the error would seriously affect the

fairness of the judicial proceedings.” Farley v. Nationwide Mut. Ins.,

, 1329 (11th Cir. 1999). After careful consideration and an independent review of the case, the Court finds no plain error. So it accepts and adopts the R&R in full.

Accordingly, it is now ORDERED: United States Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 38) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED, and the findings incorporated herein. 1. Petitioner Mid-Island Water Sports, Inc.’s Motion for Entry of Default (Doc. 34) is GRANTED. 2. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner, deny all pending motions as moot, terminate all deadlines, and close the case. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on November 30, 2022.
