UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

Case No. 17-cv-81152-BLOOM/Reinhart

DONALD BURNS,

Plaintiff,

v.

TOWN OF PALM BEACH,

Defendant(s). _________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Defendant’s Verified Amended Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, ECF No. [127], filed on October 12, 2021 (“Motion”). The Motion was previously referred to the Honorable Bruce E. Reinhart for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”). See ECF No. [128]. On January 31, 2022, Magistrate Judge Reinhart issued an R&R recommending that the Motion be denied. ECF No. [132]. The R&R states that the parties shall file any objections within fourteen (14) days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To date, the parties have filed no objections, nor have they sought additional time in which to do so. Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R and the record in this case and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil,

557 F.3d 1287, 1291

(11th Cir. 2009) (citing

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that the Motion must be DENIED for the reasons set forth therein. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The R&R, ECF No. [132], is ADOPTED. Case No. 17-cv-81152-BLOOM/Reinhart

2. The Motion, ECF No. [127], is DENIED. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, on February 15, 2022.
